Differing levels of support for contact tracing apps in U.S. vs. UK.

U.S. @pewresearch study:

60% "say that if the govt tracked people’s locations through their cellphone it would not make much of a difference in limiting the spread of the virus"

pewrsr.ch/2KfSvTk @pewresearch 2/

UK study:

"There is wide support for app-based contact tracing.
"About three-quarters of respondents said they would definitely or probably install
the app."

Way to go Mayo!

"Novel model deidentifies data, employs a federated learning model to retain data control."

Kudos @jhalamka, Cris Ross

@ebukstel @EricTopol @facebook @jranck @DanyDeGrave @MandiBPro @eileengadsden @jameyedwards @pfanderson @lisadbudzinski @CancerGeek @dez_blanchfield 1/ My POV on Facebook:

a) FB has betrayed user trust AND now almost all know this

b) Repeated violations:
* Lack of compliance w/ 2011 FTC consent decree bit.ly/2QyuT1u
* lack of controls on apps sharing data
* Cambridge Analytica
* opaque privacy/sharing settings @ebukstel @EricTopol @facebook @jranck @DanyDeGrave @MandiBPro @eileengadsden @jameyedwards @pfanderson @lisadbudzinski @CancerGeek @dez_blanchfield 2)

* treat data as a FB asset, not a user asset

c) Users still believe they get value from FB (i.e., keep in touch w/ network)

d) Despite "knowing" FB is rotten, most users shrug. Feel powerless to change FB.
