My government (Norway), seems to be going (link in Norwegian https://www.simula.no/news/digital-smittesporing-apper-i-andre-land https://www.simula.no/news/digital-smittesporing-apper-i-and... ), for a solution where they keep all the data on their servers, and privacy be damned.
The upside they argue for with this, seems to boil down to them then having a lot more data to look at.
Having an app to help tracking infections, is something I would install. But what my government seem to be going for, no way.
Way to intrusive and all encompassing.
I haven't found Simula, which is building the Norwegian app, on the list of partner of PEP-PT. So this is probably a saner initiative.
- usrusr 7y agoI'm torn on this matter. A part of me wants to believe that a fully acknowledged state of emergency privacy exception, organizationally siloed and bounded by well defined purpose and expiry, could be less erosive in the end than than something that tries hard to dance along the borders of regular privacy expectations and sets the new "acceptable" by precedent.
- einarfd 7y agoSingapore seem to be doing well with a solution that doesn't store everything on the governments servers. Why not follow their lead?
