[bestbits] app to crowdsource policymaking

[Renata Aquino Ribeiro]

Indeed these tools are quite interesting, especially the Blockchain
one and its implementation to share and combine secrets

But this made made me think about something else

Just as one may not want to attach a social media profile to a policy
comment, it seems also controversial these days to rely on any
platform

A recent example where this backfired recently is the Participa.br
portal, where Brazilian govt. published a consultation overnight to
question the multistakeholder model

I guess what I am saying is: if participative, collaborative tools are
out there to build policy, what prevents them from being misused as a
tool _against_ participation?

It seems like we're back where we started, only a strong, empowered
society can do policy

Best,

Renata
