It’s not just turning something on though.
This system doesn’t do what the author is talking about. It’s decentralized, opt-in, and transparent. The government would have to force Apple and Google to make it centralized, automatic, and secret. In others, force them to make a completely different platform.
- Macha 7y agoThe other thing is lets say the government decided to bring in this system and Google/Apple didn't give any feedback. Then they just get a contractor to build an app that just broadcasts "I am Bob and I am at <location>" to nearby people and a central server. suddenly you have something way more open to abuse
