4 Germany, Austria, Switzerland: DITCHED
5 Italy, Spain: DITCHED
6 UK: Carrying on regardless, but the App it appears does not work as well as claimed

Battery issues, App switches off by accident

NOTE: All of the above countries are doing a mobile #tracingapp—all except the UK are ditching centralisation—and carrying on with proximity notification using the Apple-Google method.

Also I missed off Ireland and few other countries which ditched centralisation. #Covid19UK
Dear @MattHancock, I doubt you are reading but you really should.

We all want this @nhsx App to work properly, but so far it sounds like it is a bit of a dog. And privacy invasive.

Please have a rethink before it is too late.

A few thoughts on the #OnlineHarms White Paper. It has a "vision" of a "A free, open and secure internet [and] Freedom of expression online" "where companies take effective steps to keep their users safe".

In 102 pages how free expression will be protected is not explained.
There is a list of harms: "Harms with a clear definition" and "Harms with a less clear definition". These are roughly "illegal" versus "legal but unwanted". (p31)

Content may be legal and harmful yet will remain legal to publish unless you are a platform. Why?
Probably because it's very difficult to establish the harm from the content, or it would be contentious to ban that content.

This should signal the complexity and difficulty in balancing free expression and content takedown. This is not discussed.
