On the contrary, it's a very good look for Germany and a terrible blow for privacy-conscious UK denizens. I hope this is reversed somehow. The Apple/Google system is zero-knowledge. The NHS system sounds like a privacy disaster.
>The tech giants believe their effort provides more privacy, as it limits the ability of either the authorities or a hacker to use the computer server logs to track specific individuals and identify their social interactions.
>But NHSX believes a centralised system will give it more insight into Covid-19's spread, and therefore how to evolve the app accordingly.
- samwillis 7y agoThat is exactly what I meant, bad look for the UK! Fully support Germany going with the Google-Apple backed solution. I hope we follow Germany and reverse this decision!
- temac 7y agoI certainly prefer the Apple/Google/DP-3T approaches but they are certainly not "zero-knowledge". They are not even strictly "less-knowledge" than PEPP-PT if you trust the central server (but arguably not in ways that can have strong practical consequences, at least not more than the situation in the other direction).
