How long before the government smartens up and saturates those colaborative systems with fake data?
I suppose that could happen but apps like the one I linked to in the previous post apparently have the ability to correct for false information via reports others can submit.
I suppose maybe the “law enforcement” could submit false “false reports” too, but I don’t think they could give such false information to such a degree that it would have a serious impact on the data.
I think they’d have to get a whole task force of people (or computers) to constantly offset all the true reports, which seems like it would be cost prohibitive.
I suppose they could, but that sounds like a lot of actual *work*. Besides, the websites could solicit feedback on false or inactive threat locations, and thereby zap members who are believed to be providing false data. The fact that iPhones are involved makes this a very interactive system.
