RE: Covid-19 contact-tracing apps
Dear @awah
I've heard already about idea of building those kind of apps and encouraging population to install it. And I'm completely against.
Right now people are being send away from the hospitals whenever they just show up (even with sympthoms) and claim that they were exposed to someone infected. So it's obvious to me, that tracking down and treating people who can be potentially sick isn't really what it's all about. Surely it's not a priority.
So one could ask a question: what is it really all about?
I surely wouldn't feel comfortable installing another "spying app" on my "spying device" (smartphone). And data security concerns are also very important reason to think twice before we would decide to install any of those apps.
Solid read, upvoted already,
Cheers, Piotr
I am usually very particular about my data privacy and in fact, I am usually the one educating people to be more careful. If these apps really worked, I would participate. However, if their effectiveness is not proven then I am not so keen to give up more of my data privacy. To be spied on as you say.
