Is it Worth Giving Up Privacy for Public Health Benefits?
summary
Argues that contact tracing tools matter more than the abstract privacy debate: decentralized Bluetooth proximity tracing (EPFL papers adopted by Google and Apple exposure notification API) is built and contested by national governments, but requires near-universal uptake to work and still generates many false positives; large-scale location surveillance proved noisy and was abandoned in places; proposals for immunity passports risk normalizing permanent state surveillance even if they deliver little public health gain.
