    The paranoia and scaremongering seems to be from people who don't seem to leave their house and relay their thoughts, prejudices and anecdotal bullshit on various public internet forums. If they were that concerned then couldn't they act more covertly?

    Well, yes, there is that. They'd also not use Google ( nobody in their right mind would ) nor social media...

    1) You don't have to use the app

    2) your phone is already a tracking device that, again, you don't have to use

    Yes I know that, and I am one of the (probably) few people who do not own/use a mobile phone. But come on, most people live with their phones (and it can track even if switched off)......it's the PRINCIPLE that is wrong.

    What is the principle? The whole point of the app is that it knows where you and other people have been. If you don't accept that then don't use the app.

    I can't see how this is a matter of principle when that is 100% of why the app has been created.

    It amazes me how the 'conspiracists' amongst us seem so heavily reliant on Technology, The internet seems to be their bible where they queue up in order to tell everyone that the state is spying on us all and using our detail in order to constrict our daily lifestyle choices. It's a bit like a pheasant holding up a card saying 'shoot me' during the hunting season. If they really believed that the people who are attempting to restrict them are doing so behind closed doors, then wouldn't they also be conspiring against this perceived enemy behind closed doors?

    You have 17,000 posts on here, I don't think you should be giving out advice on how people should spend their free time.

    They will say they use a VPN but even they don't hide your location really. Unless someone is using TOR for everything they do on the internet they are easy to track anyway.

    Re: Police State....

    The PRINCIPLE of being tracked in the first place. That concept is totally AGAINST a free nation. You do not have to have the app to get tracked through your phone.

    As for 'every six months' ???? Tell me powers that have been enacted and then rescinded in six months time.

    If you are a confirmed case, they will do contact tracing which means they will make you write a list of everywhere you've been since they believe you caught the virus. An app will do this quicker, more efficiently, more reliably and more cheaply. It also means they can contact people who may have been near you at any of these times with an alert.

    All it is doing is collecting information that you would be obligated to pass on should the worst happen. Until we get a vaccine it's one of the few tools we have that can make a big difference against the virus.

    The emergency legislation which has been brought in to tackle Covid-19 lasts for six months and has to be renewed at that stage by Parliament. Are you aware of that? Maybe you think the government is somehow going to alter that situation?

    Re: Police State....

    yes I do....history shows that once powers are enacted they are rarely rescinded.

    @tellitlikeitis....uninstalling the app makes no difference to being able to track your movements via mobile phone....even if switched OFF!!
