Here is the article discussing the journalist. Reuters made an incredible effort to show, with evidence, how directly targeted the journalist group was.

Gerrymandering is complicated. Simplest version; it involves diluting the vote of smaller groups who likely would have been able to vote in representation into the government if not for the interference.

This is done by breaking up that voting group among groups that favor the manipulating party.

The wiki on it does a good job of providing the details.

You are right that anything done can be undone BUT it requires the same level of governmental control. And if you can gerrymander the heck out of the voters, you can pass almost anything.

Note: it is not a purely 'popular' vote. That would bypass gerrymandering. Gerrymandering depends on block voting.

Relevant quote from the article for the critical info to save some the read:

But the problem with using aeration as a proxy for proof of life, many medical experts argue, is that babies don’t have to take a breath for air to enter their lungs. Air can be introduced when the baby’s chest is compressed as it squeezes through the birth canal. If there is an attempt to resuscitate a stillborn baby, that pressure can inflate the lungs. And if a body has started to decompose, gases from that process can cause the lungs to float in water. Even the ordinary handling of a stillborn baby can allow air to enter the lungs.

Thank you for that 😅 I was indeed a little confused at the title.

I suppose it all depends on what you want and what value you place on it.

I am doing the $120/yr unlimited, so that is $10/mo for me. Same price as some streaming service and I use proton a lot more than I do them.

If you find no value in the other features like proton pass, drive or calender, then yeah, maybe it a singular service would be more attractive.
