Australia and Singapore's governments are rolling out an app that allows them to track every person you meet with for more than a short period of time.

Why would anyone trust them to not abuse this data?

If they wanted people to volunteer information, maybe they shouldn't have repeatedly abused trust.

Singapore is often refer to as soft-authoritarian.

It's like choosing N.Korea as an example and asking why you should trust them with your civil liberties.

I'm honestly not sure what to make of the People's Action Party winning something like 80% of votes. That's a Putin level of popularity.
