There's nothing to prevent tighter security over the web. Yes, it can happen in the U.S. It will only take the decision of the government, and hardware/software makers, to make it so. And if things continue to tend toward the anarchy that exists today, I expect that eventually, the government and corporations will say, "enough is enough," and enact tighter controls and enforcement.
What will prevent it happening? People behaving themselves.
You tell me which is more likely.
