As a Brazilian, I find this initiative to be extremely important.
However, I've recently seen 'democratic' videos urging for a military dictatorship. Millions of Facebook users shared the message and ~1M people protested last sunday, while trying to kick out our president.
So I wonder if, contradictorily, some might exploit DemocracyOS to install anti-democratic regimes.
Is there a way to ensure such thing won't happen?

- piamancini 12y agoIt's crazy what's happening in Brazil these days, as a close neighbour(Argentinean) it pains me to see such upheaval. To your point, we could set up a protocol that the SaaS version of DemocracyOS can only be used inside the limits of a constitution, but we have no control over the Open Source version. It's like twitter it's a platform for expressing oneself and it's content moderation is v. limited. It's all our responsibility to make the best possible use of the tools we create.
- dataker 12y agoSpot on. I still believe the beauty of the project is that it's open-sourced, so our community of developers would be able to make wiser choices for the country. Infinitely better than corrupted politicians.
- piamancini 12y agoFor sure! Being Open Source it's fundamental to the spirit and vision of DemocracyOS.
