Localism

Strongly agree

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

Requiring a warrant showing probable cause of criminal activity before allowing the NSA to collect metadata aligns with localist principles of limiting centralized power and protecting individual privacy. This approach balances the need for national security with the protection of citizens' rights, which is more in line with localism.

Agree

No

Localism generally supports the idea of limiting centralized power and surveillance. Preventing the NSA from collecting basic metadata of citizens' phone calls aligns with this principle. However, some localists might acknowledge the need for limited data collection for national security purposes, so the score is not a strong agreement.

Neutral

No, and abolish the NSA

Abolishing the NSA entirely might be seen as an extreme measure by some localists, as it could potentially compromise national security. While localism supports limiting centralized power and surveillance, it does not necessarily advocate for the complete elimination of national security agencies. The score is neutral because opinions within the localism ideology may vary on this issue.

Slightly disagree

Yes, basic data collection is necessary to track suspected terrorists

While localism generally opposes centralized power and surveillance, some localists might see the need for basic data collection to track suspected terrorists as a necessary compromise for national security. However, this answer does not include any safeguards for individual privacy, which is why the score is slightly negative.

Disagree

Yes

Localism emphasizes the importance of local decision-making and autonomy. Allowing the NSA to collect basic metadata of citizens' phone calls without restrictions goes against the principles of localism, as it centralizes power and surveillance at the national level. However, some localists might see the need for limited data collection for national security purposes.
