Absolutely. IMO this exacerbates the existing problem. That said, if the app supported changing your vote later on, it could be preferable to the mail-in solution.

Beyond the security implications (which are huge and ought to be a deal breaker on their own), this seems to have a huge problem in that it's not private. Your abusive spouse/boss/dealer could tell you that they want to see y

In the interests of public good, the US government ought to mandate a charging standard that all electric cars use, and force all charging stations to use that. You don't need to go to special BMW gas stations. In the same way we don&#

I've read about people removing the modems from their Teslas in the past. Have they updated the software such that this isn't possible?

The way I see it, the two are related- Microsoft stopped it from having much of a chance as an independent OS.. This stopped us from getting it outside of a major vendor like Apple acquiring it. Apple saw this, so didn't want to pay as

Apple does not prohibit the GPL. Some people such as the FSF say it is incompatible, but Apple isn't stopping people from publishing GPL apps. That's why Signal added a rider which explicitly allows their app on the App Store - So
