> How is big tech expanding their reach?

Yesterday Apple and Google announced a joint effort to track people via Bluetooth to establish who has had contact with who, to help track COVID19 outbreaks.

The system they have proposed is reasonably anonymous and I personally do think they’ve gone into this with good intentions, but as the article notes, when will the tracking stop? And there are plenty of questions about data storage, persistence, etc etc. It’s justified to worry about it, IMO.
