How would people would feel if there were Chinese backed apps in the AppStore that were used for tactical voting in the US presidential elections? With the express purpose to aid a specific candidate.
- slim 5y agoIs navalny's app backed by a foreign entity ?
- kurokikaze 5y agoThis is the main party line right now - "Navalny is Soros' agent and Smart Voting is election interference".
- Grustaf 5y agoI don't know about Soros, but e.g. the Swedish government is supporting him quite heavily. Would you consider Smart Voting to be "interference" if Chinese backed activists promoted it in the US?
- machomaster 5y agoOf course not, especially if the interference is on the level of "One activist's teenage daughter has a TikTok account" like it is in Navalny's case.
- Grustaf 5y agoI thought Navalny was better organized than that, given the millions we shower him with and his 50+ staff.
- moogly 5y ago> the Swedish government is supporting him quite heavily In what way? The Nordic countries basically made a joint press release calling upon Putin to release him back in 2020, but that's about it? That's not much more than lip service. Also, one of the labs that verified that he was poisoned with Novichok is located in Sweden, I suppose (the other one in France).
- Dah00n 5y agoHe is, by more than one. This is no different than the "Russian meddling in our election" BS.
