Yes, I understand it varies by culture. Here (US), it's exacerbated by a lot of factors with how we handle credit, jobs, etc., but we also have a moderate expectation of privacy. (The Europeans are stronger on it, at least in terms of what laws are on the books. I think our attitudes and our laws don't exactly match up).
I generally advocate designing for a multi-cultural world, and this suggests designing privacy and security for the most restrictive cultures. Anyway, I hope the discussion was useful for you. I think it may have been more useful for other readers.
