It's hard to compare US and EU internet freedom because a person usually spends most of their life in one place and is clueless about the life in other.
I've never lived in US, were there any cases of ISPs blocking websites in USA? Even DNS-level blocking counts
I've lived both in the US and the UK.
The US has the 5th amendment protecting you from self-incrimination, while in the UK you can go to prison for not divulging your encryption password (even if you forgot it!).
The US doesn't have ISP/DNS level blocking for all I'm aware of, but there's the ultimate blocking that sometimes does happen (FBI raiding your servers, even if outside of the US).
The US has the 1st amendment protecting speech, while in the UK people routinely get arrested for social media posts.
Maybe there are areas where the UK is better about privacy/freedom than the US, but no examples immediately come to mind.
