100% agree here! However, we may not even need to fully furnish any central server with our location details; there are a number of apps listed at https://pinboard.in/u:jm/t:contact-tracing/ … , with Singapore's Trace Together as the most fully developed, which use anonymisation to preserve privacy

Neat! TraceTogether doesn't even *use* location data, it seems, just a set of encrypted Bluetooth proximity device pairs.

It's horrifying that you would suggest such a thing (and that so many in your comments agree). I'm sorry, is this really a trade-off you are willing to take? Once implemented, such system will never go away.

I think the idea that surveillance can only ratchet upwards is a form of defeatism that we need to get past.
