It's a tough trade-off. In my opinion, I think 85%+ of people will likely agree to opt-in. It's not perfect, but it'd be far better than anything we have right

It's a tough trade-off. In my opinion, I think 85%+ of people will likely agree to opt-in. It's not perfect, but it'd be far better than anything we have right now.
Trying to make it mandatory, and trying to enforce the confinement of dissenters, as you refer to, might actually lead to less total adoption in the US. People will protest and boycott, there'll be endless conspiracy theories (there already are, but way more people will believe these than 5G hoaxes; and worse, the theories may not even be implausible), and I think it'd just stir up a lot of trouble. A large percentage of Americans just don't like mandatory enforcement of measures that reduce freedom or privacy.
I think Google and Apple can present this in a way that will result in most people agreeing to it.
- mytailorisrich 7y agoExtreme individualism has a price. If Americans are willing to pay it, and they seem to when we look at issues other than the pandemic, then be it. It's up to them.
- meowface 7y agoYeah. In this case I just think it's a matter of pragmatism. Principles aside, I think there'll just be more adoption if it's opt-in instead of mandatory. Maybe not in other countries, but I think that's probably how it'd go in America.
