There's a Congressionally chartered organization called the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that solves the problem of how to let the FBI inspect every Facebook photo. This model deserves more attention for contact/location tracing. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/04/16/be-very-wary-trumps-health-surveillance-plans/ …

The irony in the whole thing is that government is the only regulated entity in the data collection world, which is why I've compared the current discussion to painting a bike lane on the interstate. It's a worthy idea on its own, but kind of ridiculous given the context

If you believe government can obey the laws, then we can set up privacy-preserving ways of using location data for public health. If you believe government ignores the laws, then the commercial stockpile of data the government can access at whim is the greatest threat to liberty

I like to point to NCMEC because the thing it makes possible (let the FBI inspect every photo you upload to a photo sharing site) sounds intolerable from a civil liberties point of view, but... it kind of works, at enormous social benefit, with everyone kept at arm's length.

You can't hold all these beliefs consistently: - government ignores the law - it's safe to have unregulated private sector surveillance - we can't let government see our health data - we must have medicare for all - freedoms, once lost, are never restored - lockdowns are okay

Point taken about government not being homogeneous, but ICE is an interesting choice of examples. Haven't we seen in the past few years that ICE is getting data that explicitly we were told they wouldn't? That fear is pretty credible.
