Seriously, what is the point of a corporate duopoly in mobile phone operating systems, and an entirely unregulated economy built on the most invasive forms of personal surveillance, if we can't use them to save lives in a pandemic?

What we especially need is for tech people to outline to epidemiologists the full extent of the surveillance network *already deployed* commercially in the United States, and find out what parts of it will help their work. I and many other nerds are ready to help communicate that

I have absolutely no idea what surveillance measures you need in order to fight the spread of a disease like this one. But I bet most of the epidemiology community doesn't fully understand the powers of modern surveillance capitalism, since they've been busy doing epidemiology.

You want to give privacy-shredding powers to _this_ federal government? I know you hedged it and say it's okay because it's about saving lives, but... when has this government _ever_ shown any interest in saving lives, when they could be cruel to immigrants instead?

The privacy shredding powers are out there and have been out there for years. I want the CDC to have the tools they need to fight this contagion. The Federal government is a big, heterogeneous place, and there are islands of it you and I both trust, except when we argue like this

The problem is that the phone companies have been collecting this data for the last 10+ years. I'm sure they'd be happy to sell it to anyone for the right price. If you want to prevent dystopian use of it, we need a right to privacy law in the US.
