The solution is simple. DO. NOT. ACCEPT. It's always sold as a convenience, or a "security" measure, especially after a global event.
Whatever ..at this point I'm just trying out different colors for my faraday bag.
It's an app literally designed to track you. No shit it's a privacy risk. No robust controls and safety and consent features will stop if from tracking you.
Robust controls on safety in a contact tracking fucking app? As soon as we’re forced to use them, we’re in Orwell’’s 1984
This virus is big setback in terms of data collection by the companies and other entities.
It does not matter one iota how robust the controls or consent is.
They make your device broadcast short-lived, short-range IDs.
These IDs add resolution to existing surveillance systems.
The apps don't have to track you, you're broadcasting signal. The existing honeypot location networks around major cities will simply have this bluetooth ID added to the list of things they record.
ACLU
Well a broken clock can still be right twice a day. Good on them this time.
How much you wanna bet that Google or (especially) Apple will update iOS to the next version and put an app on the user's phone that can't be gotten rid of, then like software updates give a pop-up message bugging you to use the app? (sigh)
In short, the Apple and Google tool might be collecting far more personal information than is warranted by the crisis, with no plan to stop it at the conclusion of the pandemic, proposals have been coercive and scary, people might escape tracking by turning off location entirely, leave their phone at home or register a second dummy one.
For two devices to communicate over a network they need to exchange MAC address numbers so they know where to send the information. Once you’ve exchanged MAC address numbers you have exchanged personally identifiable information. Google and Apple are trying to mislead people they can encrypt this data, but those encryption methods were already demonstrated to not work.
Robust controls in safety and consent? Does that even exist in the modern tech world?

Fear mongering. Apple and alphabet already tell me when you guys are slowing traffic in my area.. I'm sure if they actually DO make a warning system that it'll have anonimized the data. It's your fault if you use android or ios on your phone. Those 2 have made it crystal clear you are only a product for them... Caveat Emptor.
