Virus - Contact Tracing

[Tenring]

This seems to be the big push now. I have not really looked at it yet, wondering if anyone has.
How are they planning on doing it and how many of our civil liberties will they justify breaking.

My Son thinks they will use cell service/tracking.

Your son is right to a degree.

How Your iPhone’s New COVID-19 Exposure Notifications Work

pple has introduced the Exposure Notifications API for public health organizations. The feature is built into iOS 13.5, but it’s not enabled by default. Even after it’s enabled, you’ll need to use an app from public health authorities to utilize the data.

That is, until later in 2020. In phase two, Apple plans to integrate the contact tracing feature directly into iOS and the iPhone.

The API is designed with privacy and security in mind. Apple will approve of its usage individually, and it’s only available for public health organizations. The entire feature, from the API to the notifications, is not mandatory. You will have to opt-in and enable the feature.

As Apple is doing this securely, it works only using Bluetooth LE beacons. The company is not going to use GPS to track your location. Apple won’t be monitoring anyone’s location or transmitting personal data to public health officials.

I think this is the scariest part of the Covid virus. Go out to eat, someone there tests positive, and next thing you know, you're being picked up in the middle of the day by the PD, and placed in a 14 day quarantine.

I'm pretty sure Apple and Android systems are gonna both be utilized if they put this in to action.

It almost seems like you won’t have a choice. Because if you don’t update your iPhone...

Gesh.

When you update your iPhone's operating system, it puts in the Covid code, but it's disabled by default and it's just the API, not an app.

you'd have to get one more app plus turn on your bluetooth to get it to work.

Got a relative who works for Google working on this app.

We don’t talk.

Change out your phone...refuse to do business with people demanding the app as entry...refuse to comply

If everyone refused to use the app it wouldn’t work like they expect it to.
Problem is the mask wearing fools won’t allow that to die.

My understanding is it does have to be enabled by the end user, at least on an Apple device....

This does appear to be their intention........total control

 

[YNOTAZ]

So this will be a feature totally controlled by Apple and only used for health facilities.

Hmmmmm Kind of like GM OnStar installed for your convenience and emergency assistance controlled by you. But somehow the FBI remotely turned on the speaker phone unbeknown to the vehicle occupants to record incriminating evidence. Recently the FBI cracked Apple’s encryption without their assistance.

I use an Android but I'll be shopping for a device someone builds that covers and block the antenna kind of like turning on airplane mode but with a physical device that can’t be controlled remotely.

You're pretty safe with the majority of peace officers currently, I don't know any who want any part of that shit. Most know who they serve. How it is going to go with future generations I don't know but here is hoping they dont forget.

Problem is they can listen to us talk when our smart phones are off so I am quite sure a app that says it is turned off may really still be on.

Pagers do still exist, I still have active pager accounts through a corporation for a few close friends should we need discrete communications. Maybe pagers will become part of the new normal with phones carried in a metal box that cant receive or transmit through and pagers for messages. There are ways around most anything these days. I use a satellite based paging system that is secure and non traceable. It is also encrypted.

I actually miss the days of going to dinner and having conversations with friends without f***ing phones ringing or them receiving texts every two minutes. These days may be returning.

This is what is coming. F u c k you to anyone that enforces this s h i t. And they think they are taking my dog? My dog will attack anyone other than me who tries to take him. And these f u c k s think they are coming in my house, you will die trying this shit. Looking like it will soon be a good time to die

Watch the whole video this is totalbullshit.
