A little sarcastic, yes.
But I think it'll be more than just the "smart" ones, I think the kids'll share.
As you say some will get hurt, but I'm not convinced that the numbers will be any different from what they would have been without intervention.
Just as with pretty much every "tech" problem, effective intervention for harm reduction needs to be social, but nobody will actually fund the workers needed to do that.

I'm assuming that this is the government's intention. To produce a generation of teenagers who understand TOR, and choose to use it as a first step, using their phones as routers and randomised exit points.

My spouse, a US citizen, went home to visit family last year, and found themselves distinctly uncomfortable at the border. I don't think I've been back since we were married, also in 2016.

Even with the updated question it's complicated.
I hold dual citizenship and live in a third country.
One country requires that I set foot there at least once every three years, which matches the election cycle, the other that I maintain registration.
Generally I'm in favour of as much engagement as possible for all people connected to a nation. If some are to be excluded from voting, it seems reasonable to base that on engagement if they are otherwise no longer present.
@evan
It doesn't.
I have complicated perspectives on voting, its uses and limitations.
More importantly, the use of expatriate in the question encourages a particular perspective that I'm very much opposed to, and necessarily skews the results.
If my perspective on voting wasn't complicated, I'd lean towards banning those who consider themselves expatriate from voting anywhere.

I'm a kiwi (from Aotearoa New Zealand) living in Sweden.
I am not an expat, or expatriate citizen. I'm a migrant, something other white folk get upset about when I say "yes, I'm just another migrant over here", when they don't think I count because I'm white, and therefore the right kind.
Expat is just another colonial term.

I guess you were right, we're all millennials.
That's how this winner takes all democracy thing works, right?

I keep getting surprised when I notice yet another co-cohort or older human. Not that one always can tell, but on previous social media I kept getting the impression that most of the folk I knew were a couple of decades younger.
