The general risk is there and I think politicians should talk more about it, but I'm wary that your statement is too broad.

Why are you concerned about your government trying to stop the spread of COVID, but hand over, willy nilly, the data to Apple and Google so they can sell you NFTs, microwaves and cars, and then also sell that data to others?

The government is using generic tower data avaiable to any number of sources.

It's like collect car traffic data to improve stoplight efficiency.

This is what we want them to be doing.

They should be transparent about it and contextualize it, but this program I'm fine with.

The lack of constitutional grounds for the 'curfews' is a bit discouraging, I'm shocked to see what's going in in Australia, they need some laws there.
