FabSwingers.com forum: Covid Contact Tracing and Covid Tracker App

So we have hypothetically reached the end of phase 5 of the roadmap. Contact tracing is in place and the covid tracking app is up and running. ICU capacity is good, testing is ongoing. All is rosey is the garden.

So you organise your first post lockdown orgy or gangbang. One or two of you fall ill with covid to such a degree that your hospitalised.

This notion of a tracking app personally makes me very uncomfortable. There's a whole heap of data protection legislation it has to get through first and then theres the privacy issues. Personally I do not want to be tracked by the government or hse or a which ever state agency is going to be using this "Stealth tool".

I for one won't be using any tracker apps, I know who I come in contact with. If and when we do start meeting again, it won't be more than a couple of people we already know

Google and apple and the big tech firms are already doing enough stealth tracking already. This app is not needed at all.

Exactly, people should realise how Google maps knows there's a traffic jam

Apps which enable identification of who you have been in close contact with, via your location being switched on or bluetooth communication between devices. Some countries have made this mandatory, of course more liberal societies will see it as a massive infringement of your right to privacy

Thank you for explaining!

Down with that sort of thing.

If you have Google on your phone, then your location at every point in time this data is already gathered in the cloud. This will just consolidate the data for something that will save lives. Personally, I'd be happy to use an app like that. I'm not that egocentric that I think anyone actually gives a shit where I go etc, it's just data for a computer to crunch.

On my samsung I had the option to turn on reporting of places visited, but on the iphone it was already activated, and a lot of steps to find it to turn it off, it basically stores everywhere you have been, and apple use it it to target you with advertising, but could easily be used for other things,

The tracing app, which is a scary thing, giving up that much personal info, but then look at what happened in the nightclub in Seoul, one guy infected countless people, and their details weren't checked or were false and now they cant be contacted and traced

Of course goverments already have the technology to track everyone with a smart phone and the tech companies are already doing that, doesn't matter if u turn off location or any other similar settings your are still being monitored covertly. Downloading an app like that is saying that you 100% consent to being monitored and sets a dangerous precedent leading into the future. Yes at the moment the app is not compulsory but once enough people download it the government will say how effective it is to justify using the technology already in place without the app to monitor everyone.

Problem is, hypothetically speaking, tracking app comes in and is highly effective in covid 19 tracing, it could be made mandatory on everybody's device.

I agree with a lot of the points made.. it's already being done by FB, Google etc..

But if a centralised system is rolled out and works people will lap it up rightly or wrongly and tracking may be seen as an ok thing to be upfront about

10 years from now when Covid is a thing of the past and Johnny Bot is spanking your ass for being a bad boy after you were tracked, triangulated and recorded peeping in your sister in law's bedroom window you'll have no excuses

"Nah that bloke just looked like me" or I was in the boozer all night, just ask Aido!"

Zingers like this won't even have a chance

And don't think leaving your phone at home will help.. mandatory tracking chip will be placed in your japper

We'll fondly look back at 2019 while over the knees of our new Cyborg nannies and think that it really wasn't all that bad back then

even without location services on your device pings a mobile masts between every 6-10 seconds. this also gives you location. which can be also used to track you. no matter how many times you opt out of location services having a mobile on its own is a tracking device.

So welcome to the future.

I worked in the mobile industry so this isn't a tinfoil hat job, it's fact.

By accepting the covid tracking app you are consenting to your location data being stored but unlike the metadata currently being collected your giving consent for your phone location data to be stored and linked to your identity. Not only will you and your phone's location be tracked, the identity of who you were in close proximity to and for how long you were in close proximity to them is also tracked. therefore giving a goldmine of data to be sold for targeted advertising and you can be sure that consent for your data to be used that way will be part of the covid app permission

It really doesn't bother me...

I don't mind being tracked or any shady government agencies knowing what am up to. I like having targeted ads and the ease of life technology give me.

I'm a sheep and fit right in to this dystopian world

If you think that phone tracing is only new its beenbaround awhile now but a judge has to sign an order for your records to be released, location and content ect . You will be giving the state permission to use the tracking device in your phone with good reason or possibly alternative motives the, ie phone providers ie samsung nokia have been given this ability to trace to google FB, apple have kept it to themselves for their own purposes indivdual advertising for companies that apples identifies as potential customers ,and that is only half of it , the decisions we make now can have long term repurcussions , be warned privacy is a right, not an exception
