LiquidFeedback has been criticised on privacy grounds for the lack of anonymous voting (secret ballot). The developers rather emphasise the importance of Transparency.
# Data privacy
The implementation of LiquidFeedback led to heated discussion among the members of the Pirate Party Germany. Defenders of data protection criticised the software's ability to match each statement and vote to its individual author, although that was the intention.
Because the software only allows for voting by a recorded vote, it is easily possible to identify the participants' political opinions by their voting behaviour. This improves the transparency of the political process as it makes any special interest openly visible.
# Creation of power structures
Some have argued that the ability to delegate votes could create and enforce power structures, even though delegations can be withdrawn at any time -

The authors of the program later introduced an option for the organisation to activate automatic removal of inactive users - liquidfeedback.org
