Abstract
Edward
Snowden’s
revelations
in
June
2013
prompted
major
debates
around
the
topics
of
privacy, national
security,
and
mass
digital
surveillance.
Within
these
debates,
the
British
government
and
its
intelligence
agencies
regularly
invoke
British
public opinion as:
a) desiring greater security, and;
b) probably being prepared to give up privacy to enhance security.
Others recognise that while the public want more security, they don’t want to sacrifice their privacy.
However, what does the public actually think on privacy , security, and the Snowden leaks? Is the public prepared to give up privacy for security?
