>Let citizens have the "Society" app on their phones and let them up/down vote serious things too

r/writing prompts had a scenario like that. Where a nuke is incoming and a majority of the citizenry has to approve a retaliatory strike, via an app of course.

Also, I'm hitting myself in the face right now.

Interesting. But unrealistic. The "do we all trust Todd to launch a retaliatory strike?" app would've already made the rounds long before that.
