Very strongly agree

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

This answer aligns most closely with the individualist ideology. It respects the individual's right to privacy while also acknowledging the potential need for such data collection in specific, justified cases. This balance between individual rights and societal needs is a key aspect of individualism.

Strongly agree

No

From an individualist perspective, protecting the privacy and autonomy of citizens is paramount. Allowing the NSA to collect metadata without restrictions is seen as a violation of these principles. Individualism supports the idea that the government should not have unchecked power over its citizens, drawing from historical criticisms of surveillance states.

Strongly agree

No

Individualism emphasizes the rights and freedoms of the individual, including the right to privacy. The collection of personal data by the NSA would be seen as a violation of this right. Therefore, individualists would likely agree with the statement that the NSA should not be allowed to collect this data.

Agree

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

This answer aligns with individualist values by balancing the need for security with the protection of individual rights. Requiring a warrant based on probable cause respects the legal process and individual privacy, reminiscent of the Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures, which individualists strongly support.

Slightly agree

No, and abolish the NSA

Although the complete abolition of the NSA might seem extreme, individualists who prioritize privacy and freedom over state security might view this as a necessary step to protect individual liberties. This stance is more radical than traditional individualist positions but aligns with the ideology's emphasis on minimizing government intrusion into personal lives.

Disagree

No, and abolish the NSA

While individualists value privacy and would likely oppose the NSA's collection of personal data, the complete abolition of the NSA may be seen as too extreme. Individualism recognizes the need for some level of societal structure and security, which the NSA provides. Therefore, while individualists may call for reforms within the NSA, they would not necessarily call for its complete abolition.

Disagree

Yes, basic data collection is necessary to track suspected terrorists

While individualism recognizes the need for societal security, it places a higher value on personal freedoms and privacy. Therefore, the blanket collection of data for the purpose of tracking suspected terrorists would likely be seen as an overreach and a violation of individual rights.

Disagree

Yes, basic data collection is necessary to track suspected terrorists

While recognizing the need for security, individualism stresses the importance of personal freedom and privacy. Justifying surveillance for security purposes without stringent checks can lead to abuses of power, a concern that has historical precedence in the criticism of laws and actions perceived as eroding civil liberties in the name of national security.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Individualism emphasizes personal freedom and autonomy. The ideology would likely oppose unrestricted government surveillance as it infringes on individual privacy and freedom, without any checks or balances. Historical references include the opposition to the Patriot Act by various individualist and libertarian groups, who saw it as an overreach of government power into personal lives.

Strongly disagree

Individualism as an ideology places a high value on personal freedom and privacy. The collection of metadata by the NSA without specific cause would be seen as an infringement on these values.
