Please trust our contact-tracing app
jeudi 7 mai 2020 à 02:00The UK has released a centralized contact-tracing app and asks people to trust it.
I don't trust what they say about "privacy" and "security" because I think they are using twisted definitions of those two terms. I think that when they say "privacy" they mean "privacy from all parties except the UK government, and Apple or Google", and when they say "security" they mean "security against all parties except the UK government, and Apple or Google".
The UK government tracks all car travel, and has used this against suspected nonviolent protesters to stop them from reaching a protest. If its standard of "respecting privacy" permits that, we must treat whatever it says about "privacy" as worthless.
