Again: there is no evidence, that smartphone tracking will anyway improve contact tracement. And anyway, the moment you act on such volatil data, phones will get swapped and left at home.https://twitter.com/Plinz/status/1243490133199880195 …
Smartphone tracking is being used in several countries already. Do you have data that suggests that these measures did not work or that people did not comply, or are you conjecturing?

In germany any kind of non-consensual tracking will be opposed and public health data gained by imperative tracking will fail to be reliable. I think, the way to go is using decentralized contact data retrieval and anonymous information to poossible contacts/transmission 5/5

In practice you are already being tracked, and the data is sometimes being used (in Germany) to determine whether you attend political protests etc. Companies also implement de facto consumer scoring based on which stores your phone physically visits (in the US).

China, for example, uses smartphone tracking for social scoring and using this tracking data for public health purposes is considered acceptable use, as the data is in the authorities databases anyway. 2/5

This kind of citizen supervision is incompatible with democracies - guess, there is no need to explain, why. Anyway - if smartphone tracking by authorities is not accepted for public health purposes, people will simply not carry their smartphones 3/5

For non-teen households (other than in asian or african states) smartphones are not the only way to reach the internet. Contact tracking using internet provider data will be very unreliable if people do oppose to be tracked. 4/5
