The set-up for next week's (re)launch of the #nhsxCOVIDapp 👇
Not that they couldn't have got #QRcode check-in working in a #privacy-preserving way before the FIRST #lockdown. Choices, eh?
Certainly it is. But in 'feature-creeping' it into a supposed #ContactTracing app that *does other things*, one has to live with whatever else @dhsc / @NHSX / @GCHQ decides to do with your data as well...
...which'll make it interesting to see if @NHSX has made all the different functionalities in its app truly discrete. If not, it'll be making a whole *bunch* of stuff effectively #compulsory for those who'd rather not hand their details to all and sundry!
Which hasn't been working out so well for some:

And which is, of course, not just a UK phenomenon:

Nor unfortunately is it a uniquely #COVID phenomenon; there's a thing with #CreepySingleDoctors too:
