Privacy busting Google and Apple controlling UK policy
Heavens help us if this is a precedent for the future under this lot: UK olicy being dictated by US-based technology companies who pay lip service to privacy whilst striving their utmost to garner every last bit of personal data about users of their technology
This is not about protecting our privacy; it's about ownership: these companies want to own us, for their private, commercial interests.
So the UK will now have to make do with a tracing system which lacks, at Apple and Google's behest, the capability to anayse how and where the virus is spreading.
Big US business: 1; public interest: nil
Expect such companies to be handed major roles in the UK's National Health Service post-COVID and post-Brexit. And lots more of our data.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
