Re: Google and Apple announce privacy-preserving contact tracing API

Maybe I'm paranoid, but Google and Apple, historically, are not companies I
would trust on anything related to data privacy.

They are just a change of policies away of starting profiling me using that
data.

And if it's at OS level, how can we audit the code? Is it open source?

It's like the bully in school becoming the security guard at University :P
