Do not trust the government with your data.
It’s almost as if governments don’t always keep their promises when it concerns your personal privacy.
Singapore has confirmed that law enforcement is able to access the country’s COVID-19 contact tracing data in criminal probes, even though they had previously said that wouldn’t be the case.
That (now broken) promise was no doubt part of the reason Singapore was able to achieve an insane 78% adoption rate of residents using the contact tracking app TraceTogether or a wearable token.
In fact, they literally said that data would “never be accessed unless the user tests positive.” By the way, if you follow that link you’ll see that statement I quoted is no longer there. It was removed yesterday in what we like to call a classic #DoubleOrwell.
