State Surveillance: Exploiting Fear during the Pandemic Crisis?
TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigated citizens' consent to voluntary data disclosure and state surveillance and what drives their consent and found that fear increases consent to data disclosure, and trust in the government increases voluntary and state data disclosure.Abstract:
During the pandemic crisis, state surveillance measures violated citizens’ privacy rights to track the virus spread. Little civic protest resulted—“safety first”? Indeed, many measures were implemented during the crisis without ever having been discussed in advance of the event of a crisis, which may raise ethical considerations, as individual consent to surveillance may change while experiencing fear. This short paper investigates citizens’ consent to voluntary data disclosure and state surveillance and what drives their consent. Preliminary results from an online survey conducted with 1,156 respondents during the onset of the crisis in Germany show that (1) fear increases consent to voluntary data disclosure, (2) fear increases consent to state surveillance directly and indirectly by fostering distrust in others, and (3) trust in the government increases voluntary and state surveillance. Repeating this survey after the crisis has abated will give insights into how consent to surveillance changes without fear salience.read more
