If you choose to be profiled then you are allowing the profiling, but many people are not even aware that almost every action that you use a phone or PC for, means a profile is being created for you, and you are not aware. I mark every marketing e mail as spam.... because I never willingly have given my E mail address to the people sending them.
You would have to be very naive, if you thought they were profiling you for you own benefit!

The advantages are this.
Anyone who is positive is identified.
You are then sent a message that they are infective and you should keep your distance.
The individual, known to the Authorities, is not identified to others.
You are merely informed that some one you may come into contact with has the Virus.
The upside is that you can go out in Freedom and no need to worry and go about your business.
We need to get back to Normal ASAP, it is destroying lives.
It is to my mind, a small price to pay.
You will never find me getting involved with Carphone Warehouse and the rest of them.
My Smartphone cost me £80 and is £10 a month
You are a runner, something I used to love but after my injury, not something I can do.
I am a Fisherman, something I can do with Social Isolation, but not allowed to do so.
The hi-ighted makes no sense to me whatsoever Swim.
You say - "anyone who is positive will be identified".
You then go on to say - "we would be send a message to say they are infective and we need to keep out distance".
But the daftest bit of all is . . . they don't tell you who it is!!
So we'd best keep away from everyone incase they are the infected individual.
Erm . . . isn't this what we're doing anyway??

Quite so, Tachyon.

Re: Contact Tracing on smartphones
HiNo point in being selfish.
Our kids are our future, they are the ones paying for our Pensions
We have messed this up, not them.
We must take the hit.
We took the decisions, not them.
We cannot inflict the future on them just because it does not suit us.
We have absolutely no right to the protection of our Pensions nor how the future is.
Not our decisions, we are no longer Economically Active.
It is now down to the next Generation, who are the ones who will pay for this.
I am 68, had a fantastic life compared to others.
I do not want my kids to have less of a chance.
The Future is not ours to decide, it belongs to our kids.
My two think I am mad about Brexit, so what?
They also think that I am stupid in leaving my money to them.
It is a Dad thing.
I want them to have such a good life as I had.
Nothing wrong with that at all.
