Our opinion on tech responses to #COVIDー19 is released today. Myself, @mryderqc and Eddie Craven of @matrixchambers and @gsarathy1 of @BlackstoneChbrs considered the human rights impacts of UK's gov proposals.

Opinion is here: awo.agency/covid-19-legal…

Thread on our findings:
1. Contact tracing - centralised system would require significantly greater justification to be lawful. That justification has not yet been forthcoming. In contrast, a decentralised system like #DP3T would be likely to comply with both human rights and data protection laws.
2. The UK Government’s proposals for sharing health data between the private and public sector appear to be flawed and likely unlawful. Further information needs to be provided to ensure legal compliance, inc responding to @Foxglovelegal's FOIA
3. ‘Immunity passports’ would be a dramatic measure, both socially and legally. We cannot see the justification for such measures at present. Nevertheless, the government seems intent on progressing with these plans: theguardian.com/politics/2020/…
