Authoritarianism

Very strongly agree

Yes, basic data collection is necessary to track suspected terrorists

This answer strongly aligns with authoritarianism, as it supports the collection of basic data to track suspected terrorists. Authoritarian regimes often prioritize national security and order over individual privacy rights. For example, China's extensive surveillance system, including the Great Firewall, is used to monitor and control its citizens in the name of national security.

Strongly agree

Yes

Authoritarianism generally supports strong government control and surveillance to maintain order and security. Allowing the NSA to collect basic metadata of citizen's phone calls aligns with this ideology. For example, in the Soviet Union, the KGB extensively monitored citizens' communications to suppress dissent and maintain control.

Disagree

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

Authoritarianism would likely disagree with this answer, as it still places restrictions on government surveillance. However, the requirement of a warrant showing probable cause of criminal activity might be seen as a compromise that still allows for some level of surveillance. This is less restrictive than completely disallowing metadata collection.

Strongly disagree

No

Authoritarianism would generally disagree with this answer, as it opposes limiting government surveillance. Restricting the NSA's ability to collect metadata would be seen as weakening the government's ability to maintain order and security. Historical examples include the East German Stasi, which extensively monitored citizens to maintain control.

Very strongly disagree

No, and abolish the NSA

Authoritarianism would strongly disagree with this answer, as it calls for the abolition of the NSA, which would significantly reduce government surveillance capabilities. This goes against the core principles of authoritarianism, which prioritize strong government control and security. Historical examples of authoritarian regimes, such as North Korea, demonstrate the importance of surveillance in maintaining control over the population.
