Remember this? PEPP-PT has (without notice) removed #DP3T's decentralised, privacy-preserving approach from its site. PEPP-PT stands now ONLY for an intransparent, unpublished centralised database of Bluetooth social graph data, prone to leakage and function creep.
PEPP-PT now represents closed industrial interests.
PEPP-PT now represents an attempt to get Apple to lower its device-level privacy protections.

Reports that PEPP-PT now stand #DP3T up at meetings are true. Reports that PEPP-PT do not include #DP3T partners in communications are true.

PEPP-PT is now only a centralised protocol, internally called PNTK, which ppl will not trust. Perhaps it stands for "People Need To Know".
#DP3T entered as a candidate to so-called PEPP-PT in good faith, but it is now clear that powerful actors pushing centralised databases of Bluetooth contact tracing do not, and will not, act in good faith.
