How an Elon Musk PAC is using voter data to help Trump beat Harris in elections
- amarcheschi 2y agoI wasn't sure whether to post this or not, given it is political, but it is also something that I think hackers would find interesting (concerning, perhaps, is a better word) A few days ago I read a post[1] about how Google manually removed keywords regarding Trump assassination in Google search, and it very looked like a manual intervention. A user noted that the same would happen for Biden though, so a manually intervention that however affected both parts. This time it's about using data that people give in good faith to lure them into getting emails and calls asking you to vote republican I'm not even American. I find this interesting. (probably not in a good sense) [1]https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41094078 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41094078

- anigbrowl 2y agoI thought the headline on this article was poorly written. The story here (in my view) is that in some states people who click links inviting them to register to vote are registering to vote are instead diverted to invasive data collection, but never taken to the state's voter registration website.
