Don't fall for his scare tactics on this one. They do not have resources to pull off having ice interfere in elections at scale.

Also, at least according to the docs, ssh cert based authentication and password based authentication, but no support for public key based authentication?

Great satire, but how are you going to prevent some UX person at Apple from thinking this is good idea?
