Moderate Conservative

Agree

Yes

Moderate conservatives often prioritize national security and may see the requirement for tech companies to provide backdoor access to encrypted communications as a necessary tool in combating terrorism and crime. This stance is reflected in the support for legislation like the Patriot Act in the United States, which expanded the government's surveillance capabilities in the wake of the September 11 attacks. However, the moderate aspect of this ideology might also recognize the importance of balancing security with individual privacy rights, leading to a more cautious support.

Slightly disagree

No

While moderate conservatives generally prioritize national security, they also value individual liberties and the protection of personal privacy. The requirement for backdoor access to encrypted communications raises significant privacy concerns and risks of abuse, which might lead moderate conservatives to be skeptical of such measures. The debate over the FBI's request for Apple to unlock an iPhone belonging to one of the shooters in the 2015 San Bernardino attack exemplifies this tension between security needs and privacy rights. Thus, while there's an inclination towards ensuring security, there's also an awareness of the potential for overreach and the importance of safeguarding privacy.
