I’m conflicted as we are having this exact debate with contract tracing: Apple And Google came with a solution and the french gov chose a completely different one.
TBH can we trust the current gov. to do the right thing:
- In terms of competency: it took how many weeks to come up with an online form to generate a PDF ?. Then their contact tracing app hits all the limitations that motivated Apple and Google to work on an integrated solution, which then again means its effect will be super limited and people just don’t bother installing it.
- in terms of legitimacy: a lot of messaging and decisions caused litteraly hundreds of death for stupid or corrupted reasons. Like delaying lockdown because there wasn’t enough contaminated people. I mean, even at this point wearing a mask in public is still officially touted as some “perhaps you do perhaps you don’t” kind of behavior.
I really wonder if at this point the gov. is as motivated to keep people alive as some of the global companies.
