      How? They obviously already have all the tools to trace everyone, and we’re using it for everything but for public health. There is no app or anything else, here. I think this exposes the fact that we’re not protecting anyone by not using existing information for public health.

          it's the ease with which public health language becomes crime-fighting language that is shocking. a panopoly of crime tracking tools already exist, but some seem to think public health tools won't be repurposed (also am connecting to live european debates, despite the us example)

          i think it can also expose more than one thing, surveillance priorities being one. we've been building tools that resist repurposing beyond public health: the directions of pushback for purpose limitation are worrying.

          In the US, intensive surveillance seems only be used to to enforce police & state power. Contract tracing for public safety or public health with proper privacy safeguards? Naah, thats too hard https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/05/house-was-fire-top-chinese-virologist-how-china-and-us-have-met-pandemic …pic.twitter.com/zrNXZLHzY5

          I dare to step in, but, why shall we normalize the surveillance instead of questioning it? Yes, it is used for everything now but maybe it shouldn't be used for anything but health... Then the risks and limitations are a relevant topic. I also wonder about the true effectiveness

          Precisely. I think people are confusing issues when saying ‘data is over accumulated already by big tech so why not open all medical data too’. The problem is function creep, also tempting because necessity to monetise data but easily violates basic civil liberties
