The City Council has ordered the immediate removal of all election posters from public spaces. The measure, applied to all political parties without exception, is justified by unspecified security reasons. The parties have been informed and the action has already been carried out, raising doubts about the development of the campaign and communication with voters.
Politics migrates to the digital realm: technical alternatives in the absence of physical support 📱
Given the impossibility of using public spaces, parties will have to resort to geolocation systems and programmatic advertising to segment voters. An increase in the use of social networks and instant messaging applications is expected, as well as the implementation of QR codes in private spaces. The forced transition requires optimizing bandwidth and server security to avoid crashes during peak dissemination periods.
Security or cleanliness: the mystery of posters disappearing as if by magic 🪄
The City Council talks about security, but some suspect they just wanted to save on the post-election cleaning crew. Now candidates will have to stick their promises on pedestrians' foreheads or rent a drone to drop leaflets. At least citizens are spared from seeing the same plastic smile on every corner for a month.
