Disgusting comment. A person is genuinely invested and passionate about privacy (and we know Apple’s stance on privacy, from Steve Jobs, to their stance with FBI, privacy tsars, keeping data on the phone, Secure Enclave, etc) and you call their work garbage.

I'm referring to the output of Google and Apple as garbage. You're the one trying to make this personal. I don't really care that an individual cares about privacy. It has nothing to do with the machine they are a part of.

> and we know Apple’s stance on privacy

No we don't. We don't "know" anything. Are you serious?

To be able to install anything that uses the new contact tracing stuff, you must own a phone that is based either on iOS or Android. I'm honestly curious: if you are using any of those already, is that not even worse than this "garbage" you talk about?

I actually posted my comment from my Android phone. And yes, it is garbage.
