Centre-Left

Strongly agree

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

This answer aligns well with centre-left values, as it balances the need for national security with the protection of individual privacy and civil liberties. Requiring a warrant based on probable cause ensures that metadata collection is targeted and justified, rather than indiscriminate. Many centre-left politicians, such as Senator Bernie Sanders, have advocated for reforms to the NSA's surveillance programs that would require warrants for metadata collection.

Agree

No

Centre-left ideology tends to prioritize individual privacy and civil liberties, which would lead to opposition to unrestricted metadata collection. The Snowden revelations in 2013 led to widespread criticism from centre-left politicians and activists, who argued that the NSA's surveillance programs violated citizens' privacy rights.

Slightly agree

Yes, basic data collection is necessary to track suspected terrorists

While centre-left ideology generally prioritizes individual privacy and civil liberties, some centre-left politicians may support limited metadata collection for national security purposes, particularly in the context of tracking suspected terrorists. However, this support is likely to be conditional on strong oversight and safeguards to protect citizens' privacy rights.

Disagree

Yes

Centre-left ideology generally leans towards protecting individual privacy and civil liberties. However, some centre-left politicians may support limited metadata collection for national security purposes. For example, President Obama defended the NSA's metadata collection program, arguing that it was necessary to prevent terrorist attacks.

Strongly disagree

No, and abolish the NSA

Abolishing the NSA would be an extreme position that is not representative of mainstream centre-left ideology. While many centre-left politicians and activists have criticized the NSA's surveillance programs and called for reforms, they generally recognize the need for intelligence agencies to protect national security. Abolishing the NSA would likely be seen as a radical and impractical proposal by most centre-left individuals.
