Oprah to the executive branch:

“You get a felon, and you get a brain worm, and you get a pedophile, you get a fraudster, and everyone gets a cyberdumpstertruck”

Damn, this is so depressing.

I mean I guess they won’t have to do censorship anymore, with AI, they could just lie and say its deepfake or whatever.

We don’t know which would be authoratative. Yes paper trails can be used to verify votes, but the problems if only one of them is legally considered “authoratative” meaning the one that holds legal weight. State supreme courts can be partisan and say only the electronic votes are authoritative. District courts and especially the supreme court could also weight in.

So you could end up with a recount saying the electronics votes are wrong, but then the legal system could still declare the electroic votes as official.

But if we just use paper ballot only, there is only one set of ballots so then they have to be authoritative.

How would that backdoor be activated?

See, phones could be preloaded with a malware that make it so that it doesn’t actually turn off radios (like wifi bluetooth or celluar) when you change the settings, and only stops transmitting and goes to passive listening only. Once they detect a certain signal, like when police activates it in a protest, the phone then activates and disables recording, and maybe also disable trasmission of data.

I mean this is just hypothetical. I don’t know if they are doing this, or if they can. But like when you think about it, its quite possible.

There are already reports of malware that fakes a shut down animation and silently records in the background, and execute remote commands.

vance will plot assassination against trump, then claim democrats did it.

Mark. My. Words.

Bruh.

The most powerful country in the world couldn’t even do democracy better than a “Third World Country”

🤦‍♂️

Apple has a patent that is designed to allow concerts to disable iphone cameras to I assume “avoid distractions” or whatever. That could be exploited by the police. Luckily apple never implemented that in iOS.

So its not inpossible.

A government could mandate a manufacturer to install a backdoor that disables the camera to be used (or even disable communications if they wanted) that activates when nearby police send a certain signal, then the phone receiving the signal would disable whatever fuctions it wanted. This would allow them to just kill protesters then falsely claim that the protesters were rioting and using violence.

Lol its not new. I once saw on reddit that apple filed a patent that allows concerts to emit a signal to prevent recording because… reasons…

Then people in the comments were like “Police could misuse this”

I mean I could see why the US couldn’t do this. Constitution stuff and all, but just wonder why dictatorships don’t just do it, they have all the power to.

I used to be able to eat like 1-2 14-inch pizzas.

Now I can barely at half a pizza.

Um…

😳

I’ve seen this one.

Is Brazil gonna re-elect the coup plotter like some other country did?

Please don’t do that again.

Too late, SCOTUS can just rule that concessions are legally binding.

Edit: Also, we should probably get rid of voting machines. Paper can never be hacked, much more secure.

Step 1: Buy Chome

Step 2: End development

Step 3: ???

Step 4: Profit? Non-Profit Firefox?

First-Past-The-Post 😓

Just get rid of electoral college and use Rnaked-Choice for single-winner positions + Proportional Representation in legislature

Genocide would end overnight

Get child diddler AG Gaets to dismiss the lawsuit

🤡

It is a democracy.

Not a good type, but still a democracy.

Remember, Democracy and Autocracy isnt binary states of its either a Full Totalitarian Regime or a Full Direct Flawless Democracy.

There’s a sliding scale in between.

We don’t just go from Monarchies to a perfect Utopian Flawless Democratic system overnight. Change is incremental.

I do agree with the sentiment that 2 party system isn’t really a good idea, that very much need to be changed.

But its not like the constitution says “The United States shall be a 2-party system”, its an emergent property of First-Past-The-Post electoral systems. But unfortunately, human brains always look for the first thing they think of, I mean “Most Votes Win” sounds simple right. People never thought about the fact that “Most” doesn’t mean majority, but by the time people realize, its too late, people go too used to it.

But its still a democracy, a very very flawed democracy. But if you argue that First-Past-The-Post isn’t a democracy, then most of the world are living in dictatorships.

Yo I was about to comment this.

Like literally.

How do you transfer a huge amount of money.

Just get the receipient to create “art”

Instruct receipient to sell “art” for the amount of money

Voila, legal money laundering!

The people who want to kill 0 children literally do not show up to primaries.

That’s how we get candidates that want to kill 2 children in every election.

Inb4 the Internet Archive gets declared a terrorist organization.
