Would you accept less privacy in exchange for greater safety?

Over half of respondents (54%) say they would accept less privacy in exchange for greater safety, while 46% say they would not. The results show a closely divided view, with a slight majority willing to trade some level of personal privacy for increased protection.

💡 Insight:

Rather than a simple trade-off, the results point to something more nuanced: people want both safety and control over their personal data. The near-even split suggests that trust, transparency and choice are key. When safety tools are clearly designed to support people, give them control, and respect privacy, communities are more open to using them.

This split reflects ongoing public debate around surveillance, data use, and the role of technology in protecting communities while respecting individual rights.
