I suspect that the position of most in the "US hacker community," whatever that means, is that public information is public. Individuals may have issues with the government or large corporations harvesting data in a systematic way but I'm pretty sure most would be reluctant to restrict, for example, individuals taking photos in public places. In general, the US tilts more toward the rights of individuals to say/write/publish as they please than Europe probably does.

If anything, the "US hacker community" is probably more suspicious of the government restricting such rights than the population as a whole is.
