Hopefully it's a little harder for a random Sandwich Artist to pick up your address via one of these apps than via a paper form that you fill out in front of them.

That said, they have to be right in front of you to stalk you, they can't do it from California.

There are also many reports about Google or Facebook employees abusing private data. In Permanent Record, Snowden explains how the NSA employees watch nudes stolen from regular citizens on a regular basis.

That is true but their have already been dozens of articles explaining how Apple/Google designed their contact tracing system to make it nearly impossible to be abused.

1 person, 10 years ago, promptly fired. Somehow I'm missing the "many" part of the original claim.
