By doing so, the website or any Mastodon instance is displayed within the side panel of your browser, creating a split-screen view.

A blockchain address is not personably identifiable unless you know the owner. Same as ballot images with an ID number. Problem comes when you want to verify that only legal votes were counted. You would need someone to trust to audit back to a voter. I would like to see the technology that can preserve privacy and verify that a certain vote record maps to exactly one voter registration.

Privacy, freedom, and cancel culture??? Sadly, I'm finally switching to a browser that did not weigh in. I hope they aren't pressured to and cave, so I won't mention their name. Firefox has been a bit sluggish in my experience, but I was hanging on because of their stated focus on privacy and freedom. I guess they are just another Techno-Lord.
