12 AXES / PROJECT GUIDE

Privacy

How much monitoring would you accept for security purposes?

What is at stake

Data protection limits the collection of and access to personal information. Preventive monitoring gives authorities more scope to look for risks. This preference does not establish whether a particular technology works or is lawful.

A situation to think about

Cameras can record a public space without automatically identifying people. Large-scale facial recognition is a separate choice. Purpose, retention periods, errors and the right to challenge a decision change the assessment.

How to read your position

The bar summarizes the direction of your answers in this set of questions. The center can reflect neutral answers or opposing preferences that balance out. A result near a pole does not imply agreement with every idea associated with that pole. Check how many valid answers contributed: skipped questions reduce the range of situations represented.

The contrast is an editorial simplification. Some practical policies combine both priorities. Write down one condition that would make you change your answer, then compare it with the situation above.
