You would have a problem with a hospital (or CVS) using rideshare to come to your house and give you a vaccine that could potentially help you keep your elderly relatives alive? There's not much extra surveillance fruit in them knowing where you are when you get a vaccine that is going to be given to a third of the population anyway.
If you're a user of their apps, Uber and Lyft have already been trusted with your payment information, name, address, work address, home address, friends' addresses, weekend destinations, mobile phone location data, etc.
I guess this is what I mean: there's a huge additional burden that results from the gut reaction to treat all government-endorsed information sharing as a nonstarter. I could put some freezers in a van and spend the day driving nurses from house to house, vaccinating the citizenry, but all these perfect-world objections force the plan back into its hole instead of getting the job done.
- kennywinker 6y agoYes i would have a problem with the gov giving a massive vaccine delivery contract to uber or lyft - privacy issues notwithstanding, their labour practices alone would be an issue. And it’s actually a really simple problem, not some fantasy perfect world thing - pass a law that requires private companies to limit the data they collect on people, treat the data they collect carefully, and allows me to opt out. Then you can give that kind odlf contract to whomeever - since i no longer have to trust the company to “do the right thing”
