    Think of how useful that would have been considering events like Lufthansa Flight 181 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
    German experts and the SAS would have had a count of who was doing what, real time locations, their history, their faces and type of equipment.

  3. Use paper on Experts Find Serious Problems With Switzerland's Online Voting System (vice.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Everyone votes on the day with paper.
    No mass use of postal votes. Go vote. Vote at a hospital.
    Make block voting It gets counted by hand in front of witnesses, gov officials and people selected by political parties.
    They all see the count and numbers. The local, regional, national tally is added in front of people.
    The numbers match local to city to nation.
    Why the secretive rush to computer systems?
    Who needs to sway the Swiss elections and referendums by pushing electronics?
    Stay with paper and the citizens vote counts.
    Every citizen can then be reassured their vote is counted and their views on a referendum are correct.
    No think tank, other nation, NGO, security service can sway the vote digitally during the vote.

    Give the Swiss their vote back.

  4. tax on innovative US brands.

    What is the EU nations need for all the tax extraction for US brands, services and products?
    The EU nations populations had the free ability to select products and found what the US private sector offered was great.
    Generation of people in the EU had the ability to back early French, German and UK computer products.
    People all over the EU went with price, quality and freedom of US products and services.
    Now the EU nations gov respond to US innovation with tax and bureaucracy.

    EU nation brands had their time in the 1970's and into the 1990's to show their skill, design ability and cost of production.
    The "internet' was equal before all nations. EU nations and EU brands again could have embraced the new internet and become top providers of service and products.
    People given the freedom to select emerging brands went with the price, quality, freedom and innovation the US offered.

    More tax and gov policy will not create good quality EU nation brands.
    Paying new EU taxes and understanding new EU regulations will create legal and compliance jobs.
    Thats not going to add to the ability of a brand to be productive. Just more costs and more gov oversight.
    Let EU brands be as free as US brands and try to sell their ideas.

    More EU tax and EU gov control is not advancing creative innovation.

  5. Why curtail any persons right to free speech and the ability for them to publish?
    Its their own content, their words, their ideas, their comments, their research.
    A lot of nations, cults, faiths, governments, NGO's, trade groups, think tanks, security services all have views on what is unsupported.
    Should they get to control the flow on what can be published by people using their own words?
    They too will have the needed research to guide the publication of any topic.

    What is next to be found sinful?
    What other topics need to be curated?
    Taiwan?
    The 1989 Tiananmen Square protests?
    Catalonia?
    News from Germany?
    A list of words from the UK that will result in a police investigation?
    Funny images of French politicians?
    Political memes and cartoons?
    Blasphemy?
    State laws on images of the results of farming and mining?
    The publication of material the security services "say" is not covered by journalism and freedom of the press and would like removed?

  7. Spain on any news about Catalonia.
    China about Taiwan been the real China.
    China over any aspect of a cartoon bear. China over its Communist past.
    Germany about any aspect of German news, culture, politics, art and history.
    The UK on police actions over words used.
    France over protesters.
    Many nations with blasphemy laws.

    US freedom of speech and freedom after speech is looking great.

  8. AC not if the social media is offering gov interaction at a city, state, nation level.
    The question of been a utility to allow the publication of users comments is also raised.
    The social media site is not the publisher of its own approved content. The content belongs to the users.
    Over many decades legal questions in parts of the USA got looked at over free speech on private property eg shopping malls.
    ie areas regularly held open to the public.
    AC some US states really allow for the full right of free speech, not just protect it in common areas.

  11. CCTV works as people still expect to do crime in the areas of the city they know and understand.
    Once police are politically allowed to stop crime they can get crime numbers down.
    The "reduce crime" is a real thing as the criminals are in prison for decades due to the math of consecutive sentences.
    Same with matching passport images to embassy applications to people entering and then leaving a nation.
    Now the trick is to watch them on the flight in and out too :)

    AC it was the very advanced US tech that let the UK track all of the to the IRA in real time.
    Something the US had to allow the UK to do.
    US tech like that has access controls. The UK was allowed to borrow some US tech for a time.
    Only then could the SAS move in.
    The UK thanks the US by going full Communist.

    Why is the USA letting the BND and GCHQ say no to US directions on Communist telecom equipment?

    The NSA allowed the BND and GCHQ to grow. Their staff worked with the NSA/CIA for decades.
    This is how the BND and GCHQ responds to the USA after decades of US support and sharing?
    The USA asked Germany and the UK for one telco thing over the decades and the UK and Germany say no the USA?
    All the training, equipment, crypto help, tracking of the IRA and the UK says no after decades of free US support?
    All the help the USA tax payers gave West Germany with the Stasi and Soviet Union?

    Time for the USA to get its Special Relationship going with Canada and New Zealand.
    Give more supportive nations like New Zealand the full NSA upgrades and let Germany and the UK enjoy their Communist telecom equipment.
    5 eye nations that like the USA, the NSA and its decades of support. Nations that appreciate US tax payers support.

    The US supported the UK and West German, now Germany for decades.
    Now Germany and the UK will trade that US support all in for one generation of Communist telecom equipment?
