>The problem with this, like internet voting, is that you can be coerced. As an example against coercion, on belenios faq they say that they let voter vote several times (and they count just the last vote).

How do you authenticate yourself for voting? Is it possible for the "boss" to prevent you from voting again for example by changing the password?

And perhaps using GrapheneOS while at it.

Which unfortunately requires... a Google phone

Unlike Apple, Google's main business isn't selling hardware, nor do they use hardware as the chokepoint for controlling their ecosystem.

It could change in future devices, but currently there's not much stopping you from doing whatever you want with your Pixel's software.

Sure, I think Pixels are great devices! The two brands I would consider are FairPhone and Pixel, to be honest.

I just find it ironic that I mostly deGoogled my tools, but still I would consider a Pixel with GrapheneOS :-).

Ah yeah but my sony xperia isn't supported!

As a user, I'd be totally fine with Apple letting me choose who can access to my iMessages.

Just like totalitarian regimes, Apple considers its users too stupid to be allowed to make choices for themselves. They must be herded like sheep towards the right path.

Well... ZFS support baked in the kernel, surely count for something?
