Now information on how far they went and got with it, if there were at least some moral objections, and on the legalities of the thing, that would be interesting.
Matching social media profiles and online activity to their local voter db:
>Quite a bit of software is to be developed to match digital identities with the actual voter file with high confidence. The key unit of the campaign is a "voter", and each and every record is viewable and updatable by volunteers in search of more accurate information.
Worst case scenario, use ghost recording:
>In the case where we can't identify the specific human, we can still have a partial digital voter id, for a person or "probable-person" with attributes that we can identify and use to target. As they respond we can eventually match to a registered voter in the main file. This digital key is eventually matched to a real person.
Does that not concern you? Imagine that God forbid they started controlling what information was seen by people, like trending news stories etc? Even worse if Twitter and Facebook were on it!
Is this how Correct The Record works? Curious
Alternate theory: hacker news has developed a culture where people actually know the real person behind the usernames, (think of patio or sama) so users that are afraid of being associated with wiki leaks create new accounts to post it.
