Anarchism

Very strongly agree

No, and abolish the NSA

This answer aligns most closely with the principles of anarchism, as it not only opposes the collection of metadata but also calls for the abolition of the NSA itself. Anarchists believe in dismantling centralized authority and surveillance systems, and this answer directly addresses that goal. Historical examples include the anarchist critique of state surveillance in the writings of William Godwin and the direct action against surveillance infrastructure by groups like the Earth Liberation Front.

Strongly agree

No

Anarchism would generally agree with this answer, as it opposes unwarranted surveillance and the invasion of privacy. However, this answer does not go far enough in addressing the root issue of the existence of the NSA itself, which is a centralized authority that anarchists would oppose. An example of this opposition can be seen in the protests against the NSA's surveillance programs, such as those led by the hacktivist collective Anonymous.

Agree

No, only with a warrant showing probable cause of criminal activity

While this answer is more in line with the principles of anarchism than allowing unrestricted data collection, it still acknowledges the legitimacy of the state and its authority to issue warrants. Anarchists would prefer a more radical approach that challenges the existence of the NSA and the state's authority to surveil its citizens. The warrant requirement, however, does provide some protection for individual privacy, which is why this answer receives a positive score.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Anarchism opposes centralized authority and surveillance, as it believes in the autonomy and freedom of individuals. Allowing the NSA to collect metadata without restrictions goes against the core principles of anarchism. Historical examples include the opposition to government surveillance by anarchist activists such as Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, basic data collection is necessary to track suspected terrorists

This answer justifies surveillance on the grounds of tracking suspected terrorists, which is a rationale that anarchists would reject. Anarchism opposes the use of state power to control and monitor individuals, and this answer supports the expansion of that power. Historical examples of anarchist opposition to state surveillance include the protests against the USA PATRIOT Act and the work of whistleblowers like Edward Snowden, who revealed the extent of the NSA's surveillance programs.
