TSA doesn't provide protection. It provides security theater.

Protection implies some sort of attention designed to safeguard something of value.

Security theater is the purchasing of ineffective and expensive machines from corporations in key senate districts to win voting influence and campaign donations.

Problem solved, except for the sites that still refuse to work properly with established web standards.

I'm an instance owner and mod. I'll describe what we see.

Like anyone else, I can check a post or comment and see the upvote and downvote counts. If I click on a specific menu item by a post or comment I can also see who voted which way.

I check it often and to date have only banned two users, out of thousands, who were consistently downvoting posts. These bot accounts were literally voting within seconds of the post going federated.

It's a useful feature on my end and I think others should be able to see it.

I taught my pet rock to "stay" in 1988.

It hasn't moved since.

I have zero desire to own an Internet-connected car wherein I can't "own" it without abiding by the rules set forth by the auto manufacturer. BMW recently killed their subscription seat heaters but who knows what Egon Smells is cooking up at Tesla.
