Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to present the baseline English survey used in the other papers in this special issue.
Design/methodology/approach
The survey includes yes/no, Likert scale and free text responses, which were analysed quantitatively and qualitatively.
Findings
Respondents to the survey expressed divergent views of whether they would emulate Snowden, even though most in all countries believed he had helped rather than harmed society.
Originality/value
This is the only such broad survey on attitudes to Snowden of which the authors are aware.
