Answer:

The best answer to the question: A major difference between most European countries and the United States today is:____, would be, B: Laws in Europe more strictly regulate how government officials can use tracking technology.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the events of 9/11, and with the passage of the Patriot Act, one thing that changed in U.S history was the amount of power the government acquired, through law, to regulate and monitor the activities of residents, citizens and especially foreigners, within and without their borders. As such, today U.S authorities, armored by this Act, can use different technologies to track the activities of people they deem require such a follow-up, if the person, or group, represents a major threat to national security. However, in Europe, even after all the terrorist attacks, the power of nations to track and follow their citizens and residents through tracking technologies, has not changed. Privacy, intimacy, are still considered a priority, and thus, people in Europe enjoy more freedom without fearing that they are constantly being observed and followed by their authorities.
