I think we can conclude the government “lost control of the narrative” on the #tracingapp.
There are many other areas where personal data and trust will surface; is the Government ready for that?
They have same pattern of poor information and little transparency. #COVID19UK

There are a myriad of questions about Palantir and Faculty to come. Palantir are named as processing “anonymised” personal data for the #COVID19UK Testing programme.

The opinion from @RaviNa1k et al names looks in detail at the sharing of data between government and the private sector.

Admission 2: Privacy concerns are causing pressure internally
So as @MattHancock continues to say there are *no privacy issues* with the new @NHSX #tracingApp, and there are *no need for legislation*, let’s outline some reasons why he should change his mind.

(1) Create Public trust
@MattHancock and @NHSX need trust so people use the App. It is no use telling people they are scaremongering as there are technical and legal means for the data to be acquired and reused.

(2) Stop @ukhomeoffice getting the data
The Home Office has plenty of legal means to acquire the database and repurpose it to hunt down people it believes are breaking immigration rules.
This needs to be barred. I guess this didn’t come up in the equality focus groups?

This is a good thing (£)—UK keeps options open on contract tracing technology

and still signs that the #tracingapp doesn’t work quite as it should
So how's the centralised #tracingapp thing going elsewhere?

WHY DECENTRALISED SHOULD WIN
This is going back to the Apple-Google docs to show the tech advantage “baking in” tracing at OS level.

When the systems are updated, users are *prompted* to opt in to proximity notifications.

This means – everyone is asked.
You don’t have to find the App in the App Stores.
All govt has to do is remind people to update your phone.

In contrast @NHSX approach means building a vast infrastructure, then pushing their #TrackingApp as best they can. Much harder for user adoption.
Wie viel Unverständnis über die Macht von personalisierten Daten in einen Text passt, kann man in der FAZ lesen:

"Die BReg [lässt] [..] App programmieren, die alles dem Nutzer überlässt. Er kann die App herunterladen oder nicht. Er kann andere warnen, wenn er infiziert ist, oder nicht. Er kann zuhause bleiben, wenn er vor einer Infektion gewarnt wurde, oder weiter im Bus zur Arbeit fahren."
JA WAS DENN SONST, HERRSCHAFTSZEITEN?
Unfreiwillig heruntergeladene App, mit der der Staat Nutzer*innen zwingt, ihren Gesundheitszustand an ihr Umfeld zu senden? Schonmal darüber nachgedacht, was das z.B. in Verbindung mit Krankenakten bedeuten könnte?
