Abstract
As the number of state surveillance systems utilizing advanced technologies increases, the view that the establishment of such systems is an irresistible trend of the times is conflicting with the view that excessive state surveillance can lead to adverse effects such as invasion of privacy. This study empirically analyzed the cognitive factors affecting people's perceptions of state internet monitoring through a survey. The results show that respondents' negative perceptions of science and technology have a negative impact on their perceptions of the state's electronic monitoring. Respondents with a strong sense of national pride are more likely to have positive perceptions of the state's internet monitoring, but respondents who are sensitive to the government's violation of their rights tend to view the government's internet monitoring negatively. Finally, respondents with a higher perception of the state's role in protecting public safety are more likely to have a negative perception of internet monitoring by the state. The significance of this study is that it analyzes the public's perceptions of state surveillance of electronic information and the factors that influence them, providing a basis for exploring effective and acceptable policy alternatives.
