Yeah, hugely important detail - this post should change title to what the article actually has as it's title: Portpass app may have exposed hundreds of thousands of users' personal data

Because it's just fueling misinformation and mistrust of what will eventually be the official apps. C'mon CBC. People stupidly using random third party apps and you're making it out like it's the official government 'should be trustworthy' one when it isn't and is just a random app data leak story.

Trust me, there is no additional help needed to make large swaths of the population distrustful of the government implementing a digital "papers, please" system in order to participate in human society.

And honestly, I think I would trust the government-developed app far less than a private one. Have you SEEN any government website before?
