Hmm, I think there is a cultural difference created by decades, if not, now, centuries of very different legal traditions and their permeation into the lives of people. It's not an intrinsic difference, but it isn't just a distrust of foreign companies, either. The justifiable

expectation of privacy based on the privacy framework as established and enforced by the regulatory landscape is *vastly* different and people do kind of "know" this. They're also vastly more conscious of potential abuses in my experience.

European companies are incredibly serious regarding privacy, not sure why exactly
