For all the controversy over decentralized contact-tracing apps, data show that these privacy-preserving tools saved thousands of lives during the pandemic. National and international authorities must invest in the technology now.
Ah, figures. Thanks!
I had the assumption that most, if not all countries used the google/Apple tech, since my own country did just that, as well as the neighbouring countries here.
Got a source for that? The approach google and Apple implemented was completely anonymous, even with rolling identifiers.
It was not the Google/Apple implementation. They were government funded apps which used a centralised db.
