conspiracy theorists already infiltrated the thread
Moreso conspiracy memeists opposed to theorists
lmao that would immediately be used for ulterior purposes
Most definitely. South Korea, Singapore, China, Australia, and even the NHS of the UK have already tried out Covid-19 tracking apps.
In Hangzhou, China they already have plans to turn their coronavirus app into permanent health tracker for the city.
vaccines usually take years to be vetted, 4 months is not "pretty good"
no they don’t
Exactly side effects have already been reported too
got a link, vaccine coming out in Canada in January

Even if the FDA approved a vaccine too quickly, there would have to be a global conspiracy from every single health organization in the world for those other organizations to approve an unsafe vaccine. As seen by Trudeau's willingness to keep the US-Canada border closed, I'll wait and see what Health Canada says about the vaccine.
If Health Canada approve it and doesn't pose any problems with some of my allergies, I'll take it, simple as that.
"(But) will individuals consent to another government that isn't their own government accessing their data?“
Lol I’m only comfortable with ONE shadowy government illegally accessing all my data at a time thank you very much
Y’all fork over every detail down to the amount of hairs on your head to Emperor Zuckerberg and like half the tech industry
(even some random ass apps with a 2 star Apple rating that you gave geolocation data to one time so it could tell your astrological star charts best time to poop in your neighborhood and be synchronized with Mercury’s rotations or some other random bullshit)
But oh God, not big bad CHINA
I hate that y'all willing to ride China d*** by doing the whole "But but Zucker!!!!". NO one likes him either or the tech industry they get just as much criticism.
People just treat it like the devil they know that's all the comparison is just awful.
surely sharing highly individualized data between governments is a good idea
disclaimer: i want the entirety of silicon valley to implode and most of their assets regulated
China gotta be one of the few countries I seen where people not from China rush to they defense on everything.
Nationalism is stupid but to be nationalistic for a country you ain't even from is worse.
Stop caping for them and downplaying people fears of them for the sake of "But what about the other guys"

I hate that you even have to disclaim that cause someone is looking for a "I got you!!!" Moment.
Person-"I'm concerned in giving a strange foreign government with numerous issues my data"
A******- "Yes but you already do this with Twitter which is alot like China no?"

its usually communist/socialists which hate the west so much they basically support CCP
now i admire the china for their economics as how they basically became from a rural country with mass poverty to a mass consumer economy which sustain themselves in under 40 year its nuts

i can tell you first-hand that most Covid tracing apps are pretty harmless in a vacuum and don't carry sensitive information. the real issue hasn't been in countries like Singapore or the UK (or even state apps like the ones available in parts of the US), but has more been in countries like Pakistan which rolled out extremely unsafe easily hackable apps - HOWEVER, the issue is that any info which you think is meaningfully sensitive over a covid tracing app is already harvestable by the government on your actual phone unless you've encrypted it like 5x over. the other big issue is many of these apps (yes, even the ones in Singapore) are essentially reliant on third party services like Google's Firebase or Apple Geodata APIs, meaning even though the government isnt harvesting your data, theyre explicitly allowing 3rd party big corporations too.
the issue with stuff moreso when being propose like this is that it gives foreign governments the means of access to stuff which is a lot harder for them to do so (albeit not impossible); you also really have no "rights" per-se on how this data is used or ends up once it leaves your borders, which is already being exploited into hell (yes by the US too), so I can't see this working on any level.
i also admire the soviet union in the same way also under Stalin which industrialised so quickly which is not achievable under capitalist country
china isn't going anywhere especially with one belt one road and RCEP with them covering 2.2 billion people and 30% of the world’s economic output and growing

saying that people use China as a tech boogeyman while giving up all their data freely to like 45+ apps on their phone at this very moment is not Chinese nationalism wtf
its just pointing out the lack of consumer awareness when it comes to American approach to technology
if you asked someone to elaborate why they freely click terms of service links no matter what just because they're in English while being deathly afraid of China's similar apps, 9 times out of 10 the answer would be very incoherent

China is more authoritarian capitalist than socialist. Those people that support it are just larpers
I'm actually all for an app that tracks covid info.....just don't trust any entity to manage said app.
