I remember the desperate efforts of Theresa May to pass the snoopers charter for such a long time. And when she became a PM it was on the top of her list, and she did it. And now with that unethical filthy blob as a PM, I only expect the worse of him and his lackeys.. IMHO Apple and Google should have finished the job and "volunteer" to make the app as well as "donate" some of the storages for the data. Not that I trust US companies to respect anyone's privacy, or to the fact that a gag order stapled to a subpoena would give all that data to the "5 eyes"(now 14-15). I like my health as much as the next living human. But there are so many governments that will jump on this opportunity that it makes me want to avoid this app.
