According to the CDC, contact tracing is vital to slowing the spread of coronavirus and for the U.S. to return to normal. The public is being asked to trust government agencies that want to deploy contact tracing technology to fight the current pandemic. While there may be public health benefits to downloading a contact tracing app to your mobile device, will you be risking your privacy if you do? Can the same app be used to surveille you without your consent?
We have gathered a panel of experts to discuss contact tracing—why it is useful and how to protect your privacy.
