Pragmatism

Agree

Yes

From a pragmatist perspective, the primary concern is what works best in practice for the well-being and security of society. Pragmatists might support government access to encrypted communications if it is demonstrated to effectively prevent terrorism or serious crime, balancing this against the risks of abuse and the importance of privacy. Historical instances where access to communication data has thwarted significant threats could be cited as justification. However, pragmatism also demands a flexible approach, constantly reassessing the balance between security and privacy as technology and societal values evolve.

Slightly disagree

No

While pragmatism values practical outcomes, it also considers the broader implications of policies on freedom, privacy, and trust in government and technology. The potential for abuse, the risk of creating vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors, and the impact on global perceptions of privacy and security are significant concerns. Pragmatists might argue against such government mandates if they believe the risks and negative consequences outweigh the security benefits, or if there are more effective and less intrusive means of achieving security objectives. The stance is not absolute and would be subject to change based on evolving circumstances and evidence.
