Americans Said No to Coronavirus Contact Tracing Spy Apps

Frontpage:
When the NHS, Britain’s socialized medicine system, debuted its contact tracing app, six million eagerly rushed to download it. After a few days, 10 million had downloaded and installed the app, and after a month, around 40% of smartphone users had put a monitoring device on their phones that would trace their social interactions and could tell them to isolate at any moment.

In October, Governor Cuomo launched a New York contact tracing app based on technology from Google and Apple, and some assistance from Bloomberg’s organization.

“It’s going to not only bring contact tracing to a new level,” Cuomo boasted, while claiming that it wouldn’t violate anyone’s privacy.

Few New Yorkers seemed to believe him. Despite being available in Spanish, Chinese, Bengali, Korean, Russian, Haitian Creole, and, even more unexpectedly, English, the app hasn’t taken off and Cuomo’s regime has refused to reveal the data that would actually show if it’s tracking positive cases. The lack of data transparency has been the second biggest story about Cuomo’s mismanagement of the pandemic, after the deaths of 11,000 nursing home residents when his administration forced nursing homes to accept infected patients. The numbers are likely higher, but the Cuomo administration, in its typical fashion, is refusing to release the data.

After a month, only 5% of New Yorkers have downloaded Cuomo’s spy app. That’s far short of the 60% that’s needed for contact tracing to work. more

  2. Next a vaccine alert app, one that sounds an alarm to everyone in the area if someone without a vaccination gets near them.

    That way they can take action and do something about it.

    It won’t be voluntary.

  3. Why the Democrats love China.
    1. They have already beat the peasants into submission.
    2. To speak ill of the leaders can lead straight to jail.
    3. Knowing someone who speaks ill if your leaders and not reporting them, can land you in jail.
    4. Not showing up for work, can land you in jail.
    5. Contact tracing has nothing to do with the virus, it is to stop any chance of gaining numbers for a resistance, before it can gain momentum.
    6. Buy a Bible and you are on the watch list, to worship anybody other than your leaders, can land you in jail.
    7. Tracking everywhere you go and “ALL” your acquaintances.

    Americans rejected contact tracing, but a Biden administration won’t take no for an answer.
    Why? See above.

  4. Contact tracing my homesick ass!! We were rebels last night, 10 people over, 3 generations, 4 households. Lasagna, wine, drinks for kids, games, laughing and having fun. Just like the old days. It was great!

  5. I’ve made it 71 years without ever owning a cell phone and my land line home phone is primarily used for telemarketers to call me about the warranty on my vehicle is about to expire.

  6. Alan – lol I get the vehicle thing over the phone AND in the mail.
    Also, I’ve been getting AARP, life insurance, viagra, and penis pump mailers since I was 24. When I became diabetic, the county hospital sold my name the second I signed the release forms. Since I have a lot of time now, I’m going to dig out the names from the forms (I still have them.lol) and sign them up for shit, too. I hope they like “Furries”!

  7. “People WERE laughing at me because I still have a Flip Phone with no Internet. ”

    I did too until recently but the switch to 5G in my area made it obsolete and non functioning (the 3G service it could be used on is now phased out and no longer available).

    I now have a flip phone with data and internet capability but those functions are turned off. Still a flip phone but about half again as large and I don’t like it as much, I miss my old phone.
