UK vs Apple und Google
„NHS in standoff with Apple and Google over coronavirus tracing – Tech firms place limitations on how tracing apps may work in effort to protect users‘ privacy – The NHS is in a standoff with Apple and Google after the two tech firms refused to support the UK’s plans to build an app that alerts users when they have been in contact with someone with coronavirus. – Apple and Google are encouraging health services worldwide to build contact-tracing apps that operate in a decentralised way, allowing individuals to know when they’ve been in contact with an infected person but preventing governments from using that data to build a picture of population movements in aggregate. … The limits will prevent the NHS from obtaining useful information about population flows in the aggregate, tracking ’near misses‘ or receiving information about contacts from people who have opted into the system but not recently checked their phones. … On a press call to journalists on Tuesday evening, Google said those limits were in place because neither company wanted to provide functionality in their operating systems to allow for surveillance efforts that could be abused.“

PEPP-PT ohne dezentrales DP-3T?
„Streit beim Corona-App-Projekt – Im europäischen Konsortium PEPP-PT, das die Technologie für eine Corona-Tracking-App entwickeln will, gibt es einen Konflikt: Informationen über einen dezentralen Ansatz wurden ohne Absprache von der Webseite entfernt. … Das dezentrale DP-3T-Protokoll hat eine detaillierte Spezifikation sowie inzwischen auch ersten Quellcode unter freien Lizenzen auf Github veröffentlicht. Die von Google und Apple kürzlich angekündigte Schnittstelle für eine Corona-App orientiert sich am DP-3T-Protokoll und wird vermutlich damit kompatibel sein.“

„TikTok now lets parents set restrictions on their kids‘ accounts – They can set screen time limits, disable DMs, and restrict content – TikTok is amping up its parental controls today with a feature that lets parents remotely set restrictions on their kids’ accounts. The new feature, called Family Pairing, allows parents to link their kids’ accounts to their own, where they’ll be able to disable direct messages, turn on restricted content mode, and set screen time limits. … Along with the new features, TikTok is also making another change today: it’s disabling direct messages for all users under 16. BuzzFeed News reported last year that the app had issues with predators messaging younger users.“
