MOXY Politics • News • Social

This app finally brings information that has been spread out all into one place. From knowing who are our elected officials in a federal, state, and county level. To articles that are relevant to your political views by being specifically tailored for you. Two thumbs up, and with every update it just gets better. Great for all generations/age groups.

App looks nice and would be helpful but it’s probably just a data mining platform, App requires your full name and DOB for sign up (ok most things do that’s fine) but also asks for your income, education level, number of kids, what kind of job you have, your political affiliation, religious identity, and ADDRESS (will come back to this) and a bit more, also requires a verified email/Phone number to “contribute to the app” not sure what that means but you won’t let you block other uses without it but ALSO even once you do that it requires you to let it grab your current GPS location to “contribute” but i’m not contributing by just blocking someone on my own account and best yet you can like posts without GPS… if the app was truly for Democracy they would understand there are a lot of people who want your political data and wouldn’t require it to be entered to use the app, i understand they can tailor the app more too you if you do put it in so asking is fine but requiring it isn’t and MOST OF ALL requiring a GPS location (even after putting an address in) is down right stupid. cool concept but from a data privacy perspective total failure.

I love Moxy. As a responsible citizen it is important to me to be informed of what my representatives (or prospective reps) have produced (legislation) and what they have backed up (or not). I also find super interesting to understand the funding sources as that would likely have weight in the support to the causes I care about. All of this public information was just hard to get to, Moxy puts it right in my fingertips all in one place.
