This chapter aims at shedding light on the complex phenomenon representedby public resistance to, or acceptance of, surveillance technologies used to ensure human security, by offering insights on a particular surveillance technology, which is Deep Packet Inspection (DPI). We rely on both quantitative data gathered in six European countries and qualitative data gathered in the UK to draw our conclusions. Based on the analysis of the data, we offer evidence of the detrimental effects that a technology’s perceived degree of intrusiveness exercises on technology perceived effectiveness. In other words, we find empirical support for the claim that security and privacy, being part of a broader concept of human security, are compatible rather than antagonistic dimensions. In addition, we offer preliminary evidence of the negative effects caused by the adoption of blanket-surveillance security strategies on end-users’ perceptions
