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 …
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).

Joscha - Du bist echt ein richtig kluger Kerl, und ich bewundere Dich sehr, aber ich glaube in dieser Sache solltest Du noch einmal reflektieren, ob Du wirklich richtig liegst. Schau mal hier: https://linus-neumann.de/2020/03/corona-apps-sinn-und-unsinn-von-tracking/ …

Thema ist vermutlich zu komplex für Twitter. Linus' technische Einwände scheinen lösbar. Die politische Abwägung hängt von Faktoren ab, die ich nicht alle kenne, und die man ggf. in einer Runde mit CCC, Regierung und Diensten diskutieren müßte.

The practical implementation is easy: it can be made illegal during medical lockdowns to be outside of your home without a running GPS device. A GPS+cellular wristband can be made for ~20 dollars, if you don’t want to use a smartphone.

Your argument is based on the idea that authorities would be forced to somehow skim the data off your regular online activities. But during a medical emergency, they can ask everyone to wear an electronic passport on their body, with the smartphone being a convenience version.

Changing public opinion on medical tracking may be very easy while a few ten thousand people die on hospital corridors, and the authorities can point at possibly infected rich idiot kids going to parties.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
