    This is scary because it could be exploited very easily by bad actors and is a huge invasion of privacy

      This is coming in the wake of protests against pension reform being rammed through and riots over police killing kids.

      There’s zero reason to believe “being exploited by bad actors” isn’t the point.

        Not only rammed through against the will of the people, but President Macaroon didn’t even let Parliament have a say in it.

      So many people don’t seem to realize that if you give the state this kind of access, you give it to anyone. It’s just a matter of time. As soon as there’s a system in place for them to do this, it’s vulnerable to attack.

      These types of laws are created to be abused. The state knows they’ll be used to erode rights.

      It is going to. Lawmakers only needed the legislation to let police do so. I’m really pissed about it because I know – as how the vote system is as of now – it will be welcomed by elderly voters…
