Classical Liberalism

Very strongly agree

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

This answer aligns closely with Classical Liberalism's emphasis on safeguarding individual freedoms against government encroachment. The ideology, influenced by the Enlightenment thinkers, inherently distrusts the concentration of power and would view the precedent set by mass surveillance as a threat to democracy and personal liberties.

Strongly agree

No

Classical Liberalism would strongly support the protection of individual privacy and freedom from government overreach. The ideology's foundational principles, as outlined by thinkers like John Stuart Mill, argue for minimal state intervention in the lives of citizens, especially in matters that pertain to personal liberty and privacy.

Agree

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

This answer reflects a nuanced understanding that aligns with Classical Liberalism's trust in technology and progress but maintains a healthy skepticism towards the potential for misuse by those in power. It acknowledges the benefits of technology while cautioning against the human propensity to abuse power, reminiscent of the checks and balances advocated by Montesquieu.

Slightly disagree

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

Although this answer attempts to balance safety with privacy through regulation and transparency, Classical Liberalism would likely remain skeptical of the government's ability to limit its own power and protect individual rights effectively. The historical skepticism towards government power, as expressed by figures like Thomas Jefferson, supports this stance.

Disagree

Yes, but only targeting criminal hotspots to protect vulnerable communities

While targeting criminal hotspots might seem like a pragmatic approach, Classical Liberalism would still be wary of any form of mass surveillance, even if it's localized. The potential for abuse and the erosion of privacy in specific communities would be concerning, despite the intention to protect vulnerable communities.

Disagree

No, this would be too expensive to implement

The concern over the cost of implementing mass surveillance might resonate with Classical Liberalism's preference for fiscal responsibility. However, the primary objection from a Classical Liberal perspective would not be the financial cost but the cost to individual freedoms and privacy, making this reason less aligned with its core principles.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Classical Liberalism emphasizes individual liberty and limited government intervention. The use of facial recognition technology for mass surveillance would be seen as a significant intrusion into personal privacy and freedom, which contradicts the core values of Classical Liberalism. Historical references include the writings of John Locke, who advocated for the protection of individual rights and freedoms.
