Voting is far more important. If someone is falsely denied access to some web site, it doesn't matter. But everyone with the right to vote must be allowed to vote, no exceptions.

In any case, voting is substantially more intrusive. You must register with your full name and address, which is made public record. Each time you vote, that is also made public record (not who you voted for, but the fact that you voted). In states with closed primaries, your party membership is public record. In states with open primaries, it's public record which party's primary you vote in. It's way more invasive than a text box in your computer's account setup screen that asks for your age.

I disagree there. I think that this is far more intrusive, because it impacts your everyday life rather than just a small slice of it, and thus more important.

"Voting isn't very important because you don't do it very often" good lord. No wonder this country is going to hell.

I agree. Voting is far more important as laws impact you every day, and I don't install an OS every single day.
