There you go again delegating your need to think for yourself to someone else. What prevents you from looking at the pros and cons of any issue let alone apps?

Rue Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 10 minutes ago, bcsapper said: So the COVID-19 tracking app falsely states someone was there when a bank was being robbed. Leads to a conviction in the absence of any other evidence. Let me know when that happens and I'll join you on the barricades. I'll even bring sandwiches. You engage in a deliberatey absurd sounding assumption as to how a medical tracking app for Covid 19 might be abused to try bellittle any concern that there could be abuse of Covid 19 obtained information. Your exercise of assuming potential abuse of power will only occur in cirumstances you assume is subjective and self-serving to your argument and not based on actual facts. Therefore your example is meaningless as it can not be proven or disproved. It is also illogical to assume actual abuses of power can only be speculated by you let alone using the circumstances you did. As well assuming only the person tracked might be exposed to abuse of government is premature. A scenario of abusing medical information could also possibly arise from using the information obtained from one or more sujects tracked to justify violating the rights of another individual or individuals other then the ones tracked.

There should be privacy laws protecting all of our data, but there never will be. Let's be honest. Our government can't even protect ITS data from foreign governments. The computer systems used by 90% of the federal government are based on software written in the 1960s and 1970s with Cobol. Their hardware is mostly obsolete, and their security is a joke.

He hasn't given much thought to that and many other possible concerns on this thread. I contend he and Argus need to slow down. Yes we need to track diseases of course. Early detection is the key of course. The issue they have not given thought to is how and why our government will obtain info about us let alone guarantee it won't abuse that info. They also fail to address how and why they feel the tracking can not be done by informed consent disclosure as opposed to mandatory disclosure. They also fail to address why the info must be done by an app. They also fail to address how they can guarantee thecspp won't be hacked into. I believe the solution will ultimately involve preventative testing like we do with colon cancer or blood tests when we go to the doctor. That will require we be educated so we engage in the testing voluntarily. The thread assumes the Charter Of Rights can be violated in favour of state power imposed on us for the public good. That is a huge legal assumption let alone assumes nurses and doctors will force themselves on people as state agents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are my medical records of any interest to anyone but my Doctor and myself. If they were printed on the front page of the Globe and Mail, would that have the slightest impact on my life, good or bad? I can't think of anything in my life that would be of interest to anyone...except for those times on Saturday nights in Calgary...but then nobody knows about that except... In normal times I value my privacy, but not above life itself. While this global crisis lasts, I’d be willing to divulge my less than exciting activities at places like the Trap and Gill, now gone, alas. https://calgaryherald.com/news/local-news/maritimes-themed-trap-and-gill-pub-closing-its-calgary-doors/ Edited May 10, 2020 by SpankyMcFarland 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argus Posted May 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 1 hour ago, Rue said: The fact we are tracked does not make the tracking acceptable, legal or without potential abuse. No one denies tracking. The issue is, what do we do to assure the tracking is done with our informed consent and used only for the limited purpose we consented to. That is not the issue you raised, counselor. I can't believe a guy who's a lawyer wades into an argument based on facts and logic, gets all emotional, starts insulting people. and then after multiple pages finally brings up something slightly relevant. But you never raised something as simple as that before. Instead it was "If we have a tracking app the fascists will get us! Aaggghh! You're all fascist lovers! Aaagghh!" (Rue running around waving his arms in the air and shrieking). But you ignore the fact you have no clue whether the current tracking is limited, nor any way to enforce your desires for it to be. And virtually none of it is informed since no one knows what it's even being used for. We can certainly limit the use of a government tracking app, however, and even have neutral people overseeing that use. Thus it would be less of an invasion of our privacy than all the ones we currently have on our phones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argus Posted May 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 57 minutes ago, Moonlight Graham said: I would destroy my phone before installing a mandatory tracking app. Our governments are liars, power-seekers, and can't be trusted. They can't even design functional software to pay their own employees (Phoenix), I'm not going to trust them with my tracking data. Don't blame me if people die because of it, blame them. In a perfect world, if 100% privacy was guaranteed, the app secure from hacks etc., and contact from the app when a person is in contact with someone with COVID was automated and out of the hands of humans then maybe I'd consider it, but that will never ever happen. Your current phone is tracking everywhere you go and passing that data to half a dozen different organizations. Your ISP is tracking everywhere you go online. Your credit card/debit card software tracks everything you spend money on. You have no idea who holds that data or how vulnerable it is to various government actors. And you don't care. But you'd destroy your phone rather than let an anti-virus app be installed on it. Real clear thinking there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
