We could use mobile phones to have an instant voting system where everybody approves the government's decisions. Computers don't have to be oppressive, we just have decided to use them in a particular way.
- gtsop 4y agoAlthough I am against e-voting for privacy and security reasons, this is a perfectly valid point of view completely under-represented in the mainstream dialogue. It seems that the powers-to-be only vouch for e-voting where they feel confident the status quo is guaranteed and they sell it as "democratization". How about casting an e-vote, or even less, a like-dislike on a bill? Again, in concept it sounds like a good idea, but I can already imagine the privacy/security implications of such an action be grave, let alone the law like-farms that would surface.
