Daniel Pocock: Why you should follow my RSS or Atom feed, Irish elections, everybody wins
Reprinted with permission from Daniel Pocock.
After the news appeared about the encrypted 8GB Swiss Archive today, fresh questions appeared about whether it makes any difference to the outcome of the elections.
When it comes to politics, the journey is important too, even if the outcome is unpredictable and sometimes utterly dismal.
The campaign has served its purpose already though. We have fresh evidence about censorship. People have been taking screenshots of the Google search results. You can't look at these search results and not feel that they have been hand-crafted by somebody who resents the prospect of people voting for me.
The word "ELIMINATED" has appeared in capital letters high in the search results, but that actually refers to the process of eliminating candidates one-by-one during counting in the last elections. No candidates have been eliminated in this election.
One of the main highlights of this campaign was the distribution of a leaflet to every home in the region. Forty thousand households received the leaflet. Several people have spoken to me about electricity bills but not one has a bill as big as mine, €17,000.
Regardless of whether I win or lose, in the next few days I'm going to publish fresh details about the secret expulsions in GNOME Foundation and more about the social engineering attacks in Debian, especially the cases where some kind of privilege escalation has been successful.
