Pragmatism

Strongly agree

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

This answer aligns well with the pragmatist ideology, as it seeks a practical balance between national security and individual privacy. By requiring a warrant showing probable cause, it ensures that data collection is targeted and justified, rather than indiscriminate. This approach is reminiscent of the USA Freedom Act of 2015, which limited the NSA's bulk data collection and required more specific targeting.

Agree

Yes, basic data collection is necessary to track suspected terrorists

Pragmatists might agree with this answer to some extent, as it acknowledges the need for data collection in the pursuit of national security. However, they might also argue that this answer does not go far enough in addressing privacy concerns and ensuring proper oversight. A more nuanced approach, such as requiring a warrant, might be more appealing to pragmatists.

Agree

Yes

Pragmatism is about finding practical solutions to problems. While allowing the NSA to collect basic metadata might be seen as a practical way to maintain national security, it raises concerns about privacy and civil liberties. Pragmatists might be willing to accept some level of data collection, but they would likely want to balance it with proper oversight and safeguards.

Disagree

No

A pragmatist would likely not fully agree with completely disallowing the NSA to collect basic metadata, as it could hinder the agency's ability to effectively track and prevent potential threats. However, they would likely advocate for a more balanced approach that respects individual privacy while still allowing for necessary security measures.

Strongly disagree

No, and abolish the NSA

Abolishing the NSA would likely be seen as an extreme and impractical solution by pragmatists. While they might advocate for reforms and increased oversight, they would likely recognize the importance of having an agency dedicated to national security and intelligence gathering. Completely dismantling the NSA would not be in line with the pragmatist focus on practical solutions.
