> Am i the only one who thinks it's mindblowing that people use Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, etc. however now that Apple + Google release a tool to prevent thousands of people from dying in a pandemic they start thinking/complaining about the possible privacy implications? No. Where have you been? People complain about facebook, instagram, linkedin, etc all the time and encourage others to stop using it all the time. What is mindblowing is the amount of worship for Apple here and the amount of support this has. And preventing "thousands of people from dying" is no excuse for this because we know this has nothing to do with preventing deaths. The amount of love that Apple, Microsoft, etc has on every apple/microsoft thread is a tad bit suspect in my opinion. > (without even having read the specs or knowing the details...) Why would the specs or details matter? It's a matter of principle. "People might die" so we need to spy/monitor/track you is a very north korean mindset. But then again, they also use an existential fear ( US invasion ) to enforce complaince amongst their population.
