That is in the US. Major European countries still haven't figured that out. (I'm not sure if US congress really has either, but at least I haven't seen any backdoor movements come out in the past few years)
BTW, if you are keeping score: stop. Every country has things they do well and things they do bad. Look for and fix your local bads, this isn't a game of who is better, it is a game everyone should win.
I donated money to EFF every year until Gore switched to bothering fossil fuel industries instead of the software industry.
I had my first tech job thanks to his NSF funding as Senator Gore but he was also a spook and in the end it ended up evening out.

Yeah maybe not doing so good at that. But you always have to watch out for that time when your 'friends' will accidentally sell you out if you don't reiterate your social and professional boundaries with them from time to time.
