“illegitimately” is the key word there. I’m not interested in what you think happens if everything is working as intended, or your poor reading comprehension. F-, rewrite your answer and address the question or you’ll fail the class and be held back a grade.
That’s a really weird way of looking at it. Without the database, there’s no central ledger to consult as to whether or not you’re legally a person. Like @atrielienz@lemmy.world said:
The database is the backbone of them being able to hurt or harm
Without that starting point, “the organizational structure, rules, and procedures” that rely on the data from the database are impotent.
Looking for ways the system can be abused and addressing those loopholes is basic risk assessment, so
just shut up
I strongly suggest taking a heaping helping of your own advice, mate.
What happens if someone is illegitimately removed from this database? How can you show whether it was a glitch, or deliberate? How do you know if the information they have about you is even right, or get it changed if you need to? Where’s the accountability?
See the UK Post Office accounting scandal, in which a persistent computer error went unfixed for decades and caused hundreds of post office employees to be fired and dragged through courts for corruption that never happened. A good chunk of them committed suicide. The government and the software company both knew about the bug causing the issue, too, but prosecutions continued. “If the computer says it, it must be right”, sort of danger.
66·12 days agoYes, let’s make sure we’re on the same page. You’re talking about theory, I’m talking about practice - which, in theory, are the same. In practice, however…
They ended the ability of the Judiciary to check the Executive. That’s the very foundation of the government, set out in the Constitution: https://constitution.findlaw.com/article1/annotation01.html
So yeah, it’s the final nail in the coffin of the Constitution.
Not “giving away”. Spending, for services. Which just makes it even more audacious.

Incorrect, this is a lawsuit that shows evidence of election tampering unlike anything the courts will have ever seen before. Discovery is going to turn up a lot of records, or a lot of deleted records. This, along with the blatant lawlessness of the president’s actions right now, might be the spark to get the states to actually do something about the federal government being compromised. It’s extremely important information.
That’s fair. Right there with you in fact. Fuck this regime.
Alright, I added “more” to it. Happy now? It’s not like I was unaware of his first term.
The article says this wouldn’t undo the election. I’m not sure it shouldn’t. We can’t afford to have a foreign actor in the big seat for four more years. We just can’t.
There’s a lawsuit proceeding to discovery in New York, which is mentioned in the original article. So in this at least, it’s got corroboration from other outlets and in the suit itself.
And it can be bought anywhere other than Amazon.
There are better solutions than literally anything that could be behind that Amazon link.
You might not know for sure, but that does seem like a likely explanation! I don’t know how I didn’t think of that. Thanks!
For someone not familiar with Colombia generally, what would you say he meant by “I will tell you the numbers”? As in, economic numbers, like he was motivated by the desire to protect his future? Or numbers like what he was paid? Or numbers like there are gangs with numerical names like “the third fourteenths”? Or…?
No, just the person in charge has to order it. People do what their bosses tell them. Rules and procedures don’t matter if the people in charge ignore them. And again, you’re not getting access to any of the data we’re talking about in the first place, because the government would have to grant that access, and you’re not a person as far as they’re concerned in this scenario. What organisations have you worked for that would just give out information to a person they can’t verify the identity of?
No, it’s happening now in the US. You seem woefully under-informed to be trying to comment on current affairs. Maybe stick to your own country until you’re up to speed.
