At least in the US (relevant because the Washington Post is a US outlet) privacy-related skepticism of contact tracing apps was never seen as a conspiracy theory in the first place. Mainstream organizations expressed significant skepticism and the few contact tracing apps which have gained traction here are built to be structurally incapable of releasing personal information in any circumstances.
- Tainnor 5y agoYeah, it's the same thing in Germany. The CCC and data protection agencies have raised concerns about the Luca app from day one and were never in danger of being seen as conspiracy theorists. OP is just strawmanning. (Moreover, the phrase "could be seen as fuel for conspiracy theorists" doesn't mean that something bad isn't happening, it's usually used as a way of saying "don't do this stupid thing because it encourages people to think we do even stupider things").
