WTF?
How do I know what qualifications you have? I don't. That's why I asked. That's what I do if I don't know something. I try and find out from source.
What knowledge do I have that a government's preferred system is inferior? Just comments from very knowledgable tech guys on a world leading tech site. What knowledge do you have that the government's system is superior? Please answer from a position of knowledge or reference point of knowledge.
I agree that 80% is unrealistic, it says here that Whattsapp's "reach" is 67% though

Hopefully people will download it and it may save life or two ( sorry for my positivness )
56% is a figure quoted by a body of Oxford University academics advising NHSX: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-52294896
Mentioned in that article is the fact that only 12% of the population of Singapore used a similar tracking system - and that country is arguably more compliant than the UK population and at least as IT savvy, I would guess.
I was listening to a specialist in the sort of tech involved being interviewed on 5 Live yesterday about the app. She was concerned that the Government were trying to run before they could walk on this subject and that the App needed to be part of coordinated plan which she said was not in place yet and she also thought there would be problems because the app used a system that only the French one would be compatible with thereby putting us out of step with most other countries who were using a different system.
I don't know enough about the App to have an opinion on it either way yet and so am not sure whether I'd use it or not, but what I do want to say is that this professor was an American who now lives in this country and many of the negative responses she got back were purely because she was a foreigner. There was also the usual why are the BBC so negative, they should support the Government stuff, along with the implication that anyone who is critical of the Government is somehow being unpatriotic.
With very little respect, that's exactly how you come over, your opinions sound like they are based on blind, unquestioning loyalty to the Government and you are incredulous that anyone could think differently to you.
Its been developed by GCHQ to avoid it being hacked by rouge hackers and stats forget the rest lets keep us safe for hackers as states that sponsor such activities , apple and google already have their variants such as privately developed app, Corona 100m, Coronamap.
Our blind opposition to any thing a government attempt to do , to make life better ?
There is a two way story in life , one can only hope the government of the day are trying to look after us , or you think they are up to something ???
I always wonder what the thoughts /comments of folk would be different if it was a different government in power , hey I 'm sure I'm wrong .
I would love to here from Sir Keir 's or the Liberals more often if I'm honest however I'm guessing they are in the same unknown dark place as the current government is where one has never experienced anything like this in our lifetime ??
You (and others) need to find a more convincing attack line. People have very real concerns about how this app operates and the information it needlessly collects. Government were aware this was the case and that it could affect the uptake. Pretending that everyone who has concerns if either mental (comparing to 5g conspiracy theorists and anti vaxers) or entirely politically motivated is disingenuous.
Debate the topic and stop resorting to this childish shite.
