Civil Rights and Covid-19 pandemic

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: During the Covid-19 pandemic, governments were called upon to implement restrictive measures that resulted in limitations on civil rights and freedoms. Within this context, the present quantitative study investigates the views of Greek citizens regarding the restriction of civil rights, the role of digital surveillance, and the digital tools adopted as part of the measures imposed during the second wave of Covid-19. The findings reveal that participants perceived a significant limitation of their civil rights. They considered the restrictions stemming from digital surveillance to be moderate to substantial and expressed a neutral stance regarding the use of digital tools to restrict civil rights. These findings may contribute to political decision-making.
