A new system can trace the recent encounters of Covid-19 patients while preserving privacy for all parties. It uses smartphonesโ short-range Bluetooth โchirps,โ matched anonymously between patients and those theyโve been near in recent days. http://mitsha.re/sQo650za68E

"The app will use a Bluetooth technology to trace every phone a person comes in contact with, raising concerns over privacy"...

I used to like '90s music until my kids just started singing Barbie Girl from Aqua.

I can see this quote on #privacy becoming my favourite in no time:
I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are.starrywisdomofficial

Unpopular Opinion:
I said it a month ago and I will say it again - COVID-19 was used to perform the biggest robbery in American history, with the stimulus used to blind us, as hush money. You can say that's a conspiracy theory all you want, but it just seems blatantly obvious to me when looking at stats (of covid-19 and of similar coronaviruses and outbreaks) and take emotion and fear out of it.

Its amazing that for all the talk from the DNC supporters about Trumps "poor" response to COVID his approval rating has went UP, not down and his approval rating for handling covid is 60% (a majority of people think he is handling it well).
As much as I hoped, begged, and pleaded with the democrats to get a decent candidate past the primaries so we could have someone better than Trump in office, they failed at that.
I'm sad to say at this point the DNc has done everything in their power to guarantee Trump wins the next election. The election is already over :(

Digital security practices are especially important as mutual aid and help networks focus on online efforts. Join Civil Liberties Defense Center, EFF, and Mutual Aid Disaster Relief for a conversation Thursday about best practices https://www.facebook.com/events/827900797686822/
@freemo When he banned travel from China they called it racist. Then a month later said he shoudl have done it sooner. Multiple mainstream outlets. Insanity. They think we are all stupid. @design_RG

Every year, I revisit my idea of a Randomocracy - where all of congress, VP, president is picked at random SS# drawing. At this point, I still think it's a pretty solid idea, with results that would be better than what we have now, at worst on par.
