There has got to be SOME allowance for information tech to help solve problems in the gray area between government surveillance and personal obscurity.
It took the legal action of Human Rights organizations to end their access to it.
If you're a user of their apps, Uber and Lyft have already been trusted with your payment information, name, address, work address, home address, friends' addresses, weekend destinations, mobile phone location data, etc.
I guess this is what I mean: there's a huge additional burden that results from the gut reaction to treat all government-endorsed information sharing as a nonstarter. I could put some freezers in a van and spend the day driving nurses from house to house, vaccinating the citizenry, but all these perfect-world objections force the plan back into its hole instead of getting the job done.
And it’s actually a really simple problem, not some fantasy perfect world thing - pass a law that requires private companies to limit the data they collect on people, treat the data they collect carefully, and allows me to opt out. Then you can give that kind odlf contract to whomeever - since i no longer have to trust the company to “do the right thing”
