Please.!
Starlink is an internet service provider. It beams data.!
It does not count votes.
It does not audit ballots.
It does not certify results.
It does not override political insanity.
According to Fish-brain Sen. Natasha and her gullible fellows, INEC partnering woth Starlink is pure stupidity on steroids but at several angles.
…first of all by their logic, MTN should supervise WAEC and Airtel should swear in governors.🌚
And let’s not pretend the U.S. election didn’t come with court cases, protests, accusations, recount drama and enough conspiracy theories to fill Netflix for 5 seasons.
Drama that hasn’t even ended till today, but some foolish people like Natasha & Co. are telling us that Starlink is the solution to credible elections.
Credibility does not come from satellites.
…as a matter of fact – fraud is easier with the Internet or Technology, and I’m speaking from a position of authority as a Web developer and ex-hacker.
Credibility comes from institutions being tested publicly — courts, legal processes and certification systems.
Reducing democracy to Elon Musk’s router is peak techno-fantasy and idiocy at it’s peak, let’s not even talk about the structural and diplomatic risks attached to it.
…at a time where it’s already a problem if a certain country controls your GPS and other critical infrastructure, or wait how do you think Maduro was easily kidnapped and why does Netanyahu cover his phone cameras?
If democracy could be downloaded, half the world would have installed it already…😅😂
At this point some people think governance is just:
Install Starlink
Press refresh
Corruption disappears
Be serious.
Democracy is law, structure, oversight, transparency, confusion and opposition even when not necessary — not space WiFi.
In all, I’ll say Confidence without comprehension is a dangerous combination and Nigeria has a lot of Confident fools.
