“Preferences have become more important than ever in Australian elections, as the share of people supporting the major parties has dropped from more than 90% of primary votes in the 1950s to just 68.8% in the most recent federal poll.

The last Australian election saw 16 seats won by candidates who were not leading after the first count – the most ever, tied with 2016. And more than half of those winners were independent candidates – also the most ever.

Australia’s electoral system requires #voters to #number #candidates in their order of preference: their first choice, second choice and so on. During #counting, if no candidate has yet achieved a #majority, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and their votes are redistributed to voters’ next #preference. This is repeated until there is a clear winner.”

1) #CloudAct is just #CyberFacism, look it up!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act

And with #Trumpism ravaging the #USA must be considered as #hostile as #Russia and the "P.R." #China by anyone who takes #OpSec, #InfoSec & #ComSec seriously!

2) @signalapp 's #Server code is proprietary and since it's centralized we can't trust that the code they release is what's running on their backend!

Plus their #App doesn't allow #ReproducibleBuilds (if Signal was #FLOSS it would be on @fdroidorg / #Fdroid) but alas it isn't!

3) #Signal still demands #PhoneNumbers which are #PII either by association (#Number => #ICCID = #SIM = #IMSI => #IMEI => Location Data as I explained before twice) or mandatory #KYC / #ID requirements (even on prepaid cards), which an increasing amount of juristictions do...

They have no "#LegitimateInterest" demanding said #PersonallyIdentifyingInformation to begin with!

But don't take my word for it.

“The big drawback is that [the phone number] approach requires you entirely surrender your privacy. If you know a person’s phone number, it’s not hard to track down all of their personal information from there.”

“Perhaps we might need to work towards […] breaking the internet down into smaller communities that are easier to manage.”
