I don't trust Apple and Google but I trust my government even less. And I also do (cynically) think that Google and Apple already have most of this contact tracing information anyway... I mean I would even trust Facebook more than my govt.
- lowwave 6y agoIn addition Google and Apple are US companies, and US has worse privacy law than Europe. The future may be each person or entity will self host their own data on a RasberryPi (or better yet BeagleBoard).
- stevenwliao 6y agoWe can't expect everyone to secure their own data infrastructure. Billions don't even know how to use a Raspberry Pi.
- lowwave 6y agoWell, perfect time for hackers to just make off the shelf boxes.
- lowwave 6y agoIn the end it is all about who owns the data.
- stevenwliao 6y agoThere are other concerns- availability, durability, security, privacy (once info leaves the box and goes into some system).
- ENOTTY 6y ago> I don't trust Apple and Google but I trust my government even less. That's a really interesting statement. Could you elaborate on your thinking? Under what form of government do you live? Why do you feel Apple or Google is more trustworthy than your government?
