Coronavirus: Israel halts police phone tracking over privacy concerns https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-52395886 but note: 'Several countries are now considering using Bluetooth - the technology used for wireless earphones. And Apple and Google announced on 10 April they were working together to provide a software building-block - known as an application programming interface (API). But Apple is now locked in a row with France, which wants to gather more data than the technology giants plan to allow. The Bluetooth model is also the basis of the UK's contact-tracing app, being tested at a Royal Air Force Base in North Yorkshire.'

And there was I thinking we were going to have a whole new world. nm - Der April 26, 2020, 6:29 pm   Searching
