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?
