I mean, of all sites, polls make the most sense to require cookies to avoid duplicate votes.

[–] danprs 12 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Wouldn't the better solution be to keep a log of previous client IPs, on the server side? Sure, VPN will circumvent it, but it's much easier for me to clear a cookie 100 times then to connect to 100 different VPNs.

The EU has made logging IP addresses generally illegal.

IP blocking would be really bad if the poll is for students staying in dorms at a university or for people on the same cell carrier.

[–] Cynosure 1 points 1 year ago

IPs rotate too often and it would only allow 1 vote per modem.

CGNAT is a thing with regards to IPv4 addresses. So that won't work.

Except that it is really easy to clear cookies

[–] LufyCZ 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not if you don't know what cookies even are. Stops the regular Joe just fine

[–] Katana314 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All it takes to swing a poll by 8,000 votes is one person that knows how to clear cookies. It’s not even about stopping regular joes.

*one person who knows how to clear cookies…and has WAY too much time on his hands.

50 votes in a browser would take an hour, but 5,000,000 votes in a browser’s dev tools would take an hour and fifteen minutes; it’s the kind of thing people can write a bit of code to do for them. (I’m a web dev, this doesn’t sound like a challenge to me if there’s no security)
