This is more of a technical question than an invitation to a political argument. :) But with all the talk over the last couple of days about the government FORCING their tracking app onto everyone's phone (since recanted) I was wondering how they would accomplish such a feat. Could they technically install an app on our phones without us knowing about it or will they force us to do it ourselves by using threats?
Cheers
@TheRealCher: If you're comfortable with the government getting a list of everyone you've spent more than 15 minutes with in the case where you get covid and
If you're comfortable with the government knowing you've been in contact with someone who've had covid
Then you should install the app.
That's the only data you're giving out and the code is open source so pretty difficult to get around that. If you don't contract covid and you don't across anyone with covid, no data will be sent to the government.
For me, I'm comfortable with them having this info.
