I would prefer it to be based on science, reason, and human rights. Any plan that relies on a "national surveillance system" needs revision.

- davidw 7y agoI have a right to know if I've come into contact with someone with COVID-19. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22753425 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22753425 It's not 'surveillance' as in eavesdropping on all my calls and emails, it's contact tracing. And it should definitely all come with a 'self destruct' mechanism for when this is over.
- stonogo 7y agoYour assertions about the manner of surveillance are not supported by the given documentation (and are implied to be incorrect in other parts of the document). If they are diligent about that 'self destruct' aspect, I would have a different opinion -- hence "needs revision" instead of a knee-jerk "needs rejection" attitude.
