Decolonization

Very strongly agree

No

From a decolonization perspective, opposing mass surveillance aligns with the resistance against oppressive systems that have historically targeted marginalized and colonized communities. The ideology advocates for the dismantling of structures that perpetuate inequality and surveillance technologies, like facial recognition, are seen as tools of state control that disproportionately affect these communities.

Strongly agree

No, it sets a dangerous precedent for government control over citizens

Decolonization ideology would agree with the sentiment that mass surveillance sets a dangerous precedent for government control, particularly over marginalized populations. This perspective is informed by historical contexts where state surveillance was used to suppress dissent and control colonized populations, making it antithetical to the principles of decolonization.

Agree

No, I trust the technology but not the humans that could misuse it

This answer acknowledges a distrust in the human element of technology use, which aligns with decolonization concerns about how technologies can be misused by those in power against marginalized communities. However, the implicit acceptance of the technology's potential utility might slightly reduce the agreement score.

Neutral

No, this would be too expensive to implement

The concern about expense does not directly align with decolonization principles, which are more focused on the ethical and social implications of surveillance technologies rather than their financial cost. Decolonization critiques are more fundamentally concerned with power dynamics and systemic oppression than with budgetary considerations.

Disagree

Yes, but only if it’s tightly regulated and used with transparency

While regulation and transparency might mitigate some concerns, the decolonization perspective would likely remain skeptical of any form of mass surveillance, including facial recognition technology. The potential for misuse and the historical abuse of similar technologies to target marginalized communities would outweigh the benefits of regulation and transparency.

Disagree

Yes, but only targeting criminal hotspots to protect vulnerable communities

While targeting criminal hotspots might seem like a focused approach, decolonization ideology would likely argue that this still perpetuates systemic biases against marginalized communities, who are often over-policed. This approach could still lead to disproportionate surveillance of these communities, reinforcing the very structures decolonization seeks to dismantle.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Decolonization ideology generally opposes systems that can lead to increased surveillance and control over marginalized populations. Historically, technologies used for mass surveillance have often been deployed disproportionately against communities of color, indigenous peoples, and other marginalized groups, exacerbating systemic inequalities. The use of facial recognition technology for mass surveillance would likely be viewed as an extension of colonialist surveillance tactics and opposed strongly.
