Users and their political views

[busla]

What I´m a bit worried about is that SV is storing peoples votes (https://github.com/piratar/safetyvalve/blob/master/safetyvalve/petition/models.py#L74). In essence, SV is tracking peoples political views which is something to think about.

Tracking votes is obviously needed so users can get an overview of their signatures, revoke signatures, et.c, so some kind of tracking is needed.

What @helgihg and @tomage mentioned, regarding some kind of validation with an external db that admins have no control over is something that might need more discussion.

Am I crazy to think that this is actually interesting info to have? We
just need to make sure it's anonymous.

But perhaps I'm simply being a mad scientist here.

With enough votes you can possibly infer who the person is behind them even if we keep all tracking anonymous.

Vote record could be encrypted using the persons credentials possibly.

Then again, perhaps not such a huge issue, but could be used to attack Piratar for not standing by their values if not done properly.

cheers

I´m available either day.

[thorgnyr]

Right you are. (Also for so tactfully confirming my insanity).

@kjwise could you explain this a bit?

EDIT:
The first paragraph I mean.

[busla]

I will be coding at Stofan around 10:00 tonight if anyone wants to join.

[jamesrobb]

I think we will need to catch up tomorrow or in the week.
