Hi there. It's a disgrace. The main reason is the data doesn't indicate a pandemic. Look at the charts for a simple example - presented cumulatively. This fools normal people who don't understand what cumulative means. It would be like showing a savings account cumulatively but there being no money in there.

We have all kinds of orwellian nonsense and draconian laws in the UK. We, as developers need to allow users to benefit from these kinds of approaches without there being fear of recriminations.
If we can make technology more secure, more usable to these tracking solutions then this is where our efforts should be.
My website, for example. Encrypts email addresses and never asks for passwords. I even encourage people to set up their own domains.

Anyway. Thanks for posting this.
