Anti-Capitalism

Strongly agree

No

From an anti-capitalist viewpoint, protecting individual privacy and freedom from surveillance is crucial in resisting the overreach of both state and corporate powers. Encrypted communications are a tool for safeguarding privacy against capitalist-driven data commodification and state surveillance. Anti-capitalists might argue that requiring backdoors into encrypted communications undermines these protections, facilitating state control and repression. This stance aligns with historical anti-capitalist resistance to measures that expand state surveillance capabilities and infringe on personal freedoms.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Anti-capitalism ideologies, particularly those rooted in Marxist or anarchist thought, generally emphasize the importance of individual privacy and freedom from state surveillance as part of their critique of state power and its alignment with capitalist interests. The requirement for tech companies to provide backdoor access to encrypted communications for national security purposes can be seen as an extension of state surveillance and control, which would likely be opposed by anti-capitalist perspectives. Historical references include opposition to laws and measures that increase state surveillance, such as the criticism of the USA PATRIOT Act by various leftist groups.
