There's really no reason to make something as important as voting be subject to the lax security on personal electronic devices. And we don't need it. The expansive use of mail-in voting during the COVID presidential election in 2020 is proof that measures like early voting, no-excuse vote-by-mail etc are good enough.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 85%. (I'm a bot)


> A hacker stole a file from password manager LastPass that contained the passwords of 30 million users and 85,000 companies.

> As long as customers had a good master password, their passwords were safe, the company said.

> Unlike what many users thought, their personal password vault was not a fully encrypted folder but a text document with a few encrypted fields, according to FTM. FTM also pointed out that by still claiming that the passwords are safe if people used a good master password, LastPass is shifting the responsibility to its users.

>>SB 152 would require parents to provide their government-issued ID and physical address in order for their child or teenager to access social media. But even if you like those provisions, this bill would require everyone — including adults — to submit government-issued ID to sign up for a social media account, including not just sites like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok, but also video sharing sites like YouTube, which is commonly used by schools.

How, exactly, will a US state restrict this law to their own borders? They can't.
