Could Steemit help us prevent cyberhacking, like from Russia?

in #news6 years ago


Secretary of State Rex Tillerson warns of Russian efforts to meddle in the 2018 midterm elections, explaining that the US is not prepared to prevent them. I'm wondering, how might Steemit help to insulate against such attacks on our democracy?

We don't vote, and didn't like either candidate anyway, but isn't this Russian stuff really just promoted by one party, as propaganda? And even if it's true, elections and kingmaking have been affected (or at least ATTEMPTED) by foreign countries since the beginning of time. Kings and queens used to marry their offspring into foriegn families to form alliances. This is quite common human behavior. If anything, it helps turn potential foes into friendlies so there's actually a bright side to it.

Lastly, the American election was mostly decided via the FBI using timing to push doubt into Hilliary's campaign. She did an awful job of running, as the election was hers to lose and any even remotely boring Democratic candidate would have run away with this election. It's testament to just how unacceptable ALL American politicians are, in both parties, that a career politician lost to a more-comical-than-serious psuedo-celebrity.

There will either be a coming Revolution when those putting faith in Trumped are disappointed, or one of the major parties will be dismantled and replaced by another party which will grow into another ugly beast, like the two parties which exist today. That's our prediction for the next 40 years.

Still seen no proof

Want some truth, google this:

"project veritas undercover cnn confession"

Project Veritas has been widely debunked, time and again. It'll rot your brain.

That means that even the mockingbird mainstream media knows it's a "Nothing Burger"!...

Steemit can help enlighten people on the danger of attacks on democracy. ..then these can help people to think and act on the right part

I voted this but honestly I have a major problem when it goes again towards Russia and that they are too bad, that is ridiculous. Russians have the best hackers tech wise but Russia is not the bad nation, for sure not. They have a PR problem though :-).

Russia was cyberhacking, helping Iran build nukes, and threatening American interests around the world in 2012 too. This is revisionist bullshit. Hell, Bush took shit for "looking into Putin's eyes and seeing his soul" years before that.

good news sharing dear
resteemit done

dtube is really best for sharing news
keep it up
upvote and resteemited

If you have seen the amount of spam/abuse, I'd say no.

You don't care about facts... there is no proof that Russia hacked our elections but there is plenty of evidence that the DNC rigged the primaries. Wake the fuck up.
