I wouldn’t want to discount the possibility that the govt is so very awful at online security that they’d stay logged in after they leave their computers. I mean, yes, it would be trivially easy to require a fingerprint login like a banking app, but they are very bad at things.
*If* that’s the case, surely MPs should be logging out before handing over their tablets to kids? My friends with kids have thumbprint passwords set up. And if you don’t trust your spouse, you need a divorce, not an IT fix.
Should be, yes. I think what I’m getting at is that I don’t trust some MPs or government implementation not to be so clueless that their toddlers don’t vote for them. It would be so easy to get this right. Voting? Put your thumb here. That’s it, that’s all I’d want.
And if they don’t set up the remote voting like that they don’t deserve to be in charge of anything.
I feel bad for assuming that there will be clueless MPs but I don’t think I’m wrong.
There is absolutely no reason to feel bad for that - but I feel those complaining are already aware they’re useless so should be told to take special care.
