Hi Anders,

Not a survey but a powerful example I think is given by Glenn
Greenwald in his Critical Social Inquiry Lecture [1]. He relates
writing about Wikileaks in 2010 and at the end of the article
encouraging people to donate to WL. He then gets dozens of responses
of people saying they'd like to financially support WL but are afraid
to do so for fear of ending up on some government list.

Greenwald: [These are] "American citizens who had voluntarily
relinquished, out of fear, their own constitutional liberties, which
is what donating money to a political organization whose cause you
support is. It's free speech and free association."

Kind regards,
Tessel
