RE: Proposed cybersecurity bills would 'prohibit' internet-connected voting systems

in #security8 years ago (edited)

Yes we do need to put this great potential to the test as you say. But it certainly looks like they are not going to permit this system of efficient and " clean " voting to get off the ground as maybe this system is too "transparent " and does not for this very reason, suit them !
Of course you are right when you say that the research should be made by a joint global imitative and again not be put in the hands of the few for the loss of the many. World government does not need to exist in my opinion. But the worlds voice could be found by this system development, we just need the present political system to embrace and accept the possibilities of this blockchain technology and that which it could potentially bring to the table and lives of everybody living on this planet. This is surely something we could see as being a major step towards " world governance? " as the voice of the world could be collected and counted for the greater good of all.
But then " world government " is just a term and is in many ways not even important, the only thing which is important is that we try, like you say and see what can be done.
Its very sad and i would say a little disturbing to see that we are still far from this ever being the case. The very proof being the passing of this new law which you expose in this post. This law shows clearly their desire and more need to stem all online voting technologies development they are clearly not ready to renounce on their present system which I think we all see is flawed and open to negative manipulations.
