On the latest Pivot podcast, karaswisher and profgalloway discuss the need for COVID-19 tracking and the dangers of violating civil liberties during an unprecedented crisis
Photo: Piotr Sikora As the current $2 trillion stimulus plan shows, the coronavirus pandemic has widened the scope of what’s politically feasible in the U.S. In the weeks and months ahead, that might include a significant expansion of public surveillance to track the virus’s spread and lessen the risks of additional COVID-19 outbreaks.
People who opt in to the tracking system will voluntarily report if they become infected. Once someone reports their information, an app will send anonymous identifiers connected to the device to central computer servers. Other phones will constantly check those servers for the broadcast beacons of devices that have come near them the past 14 days. If there’s a match, the people receive an alert that they likely have come in contact with someone who has COVID-19.
Tim Cook wraps himself in a likable Alabama football jersey in order to continue to violate anti-monopoly laws and put Spotify out of business, but he’s abusing his power. But that’s what a CEO of a capitalist company does. Galloway: Okay, but that’s the inherent trait. Apple has said to rich people that privacy is a luxury. In exchange for buying a $1,500 phone and paying $99 for a power cord that costs us $1.20 to produce in Shenzhen, you get us pulling only 200 data points a day from your iPhone.
And what about people not consenting? A lot of people who are sick may not consent to saying they’re infected. If you’re worried about insurance companies or anything else, you may not want to report that you’re infected.
