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.

On Jan 20, ACLU will be declared a terrorist organization

Also, probably EFF, Internet Archive, Non-Partisan and Democratic organizations sending mail telling people to vote, etc.

What a shitshow.

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.
