Re: Since when was 'newspeak' used for official announcements?
What gets my goat is the blatancy with which they claim that keeping a list of where you have been is "privacy preserving".
Until we see it and get a chance to see how it works, the only "facts" we have at the moment are that the app stores the data on the phone and then checks for alerts from a central database. Your phone then lets you know if any of the places you've been are in that list. It doesn't send your data anywhere. Considering the outcry over privacy (rightly, IMHO), I can't see any reason why the QR code thing should work in the same way.
So, instead of "Oh Noes! Privacy", let's wait for the evidence which may or may not prove your fears.
