Assuming they are equal on all other issues, I say B on a technicality. You have less privacy in B, yes, but it seems to me the companies that gather the data don't do it with the aims of restricting freedom, but rather to monitor consumer trends in order to adjust their businesses to get people to buy their products more often. A on the other hand is more restrictive, even if the restrictions are designed to enhance individual privacy.
I say this because while privacy and freedom are concepts that are often held in the same regard, they aren't necessarily the same thing. Still, that being said I would prefer to live in country A. Security, freedom, and privacy are all things that often conflict with eachother and must be kept in balance.
