Kicking off, @trishgreenhalgh warns against technological determinism.
Tech can help with this crisis, but we mustn& #39;t fall into the trap of thinking it will change social behaviour or fix everything by itself.
It will have complex interactions which we must consider carefully.

Speaking next, @yvesalexandre is feeling both positive and concerned.
There are good efforts to ensure digital #ContactTracing is data protecting, but there& #39;s a lack of transparency around what is being considered - particularly decisions about centralised/decentralised systems.

From @ICOnews, @simcd sets out the importance of balancing the need to take effective action against #COVID19 while ensuring data rights are protected.
He points to the Commissioners& #39; Opinion on the Google-Apple collaboration, published last week: https://ico.org.uk/media/about-the-ico/documents/2617653/apple-google-api-opinion-final-april-2020.pdf">https://ico.org.uk/media/abo...

Public trust is crucial in the deployment of any digital #ContactTracing app.
But trust is complex: we must be able to trust that our best interests are held at heart, that governance systems are responsible, and that tensions between accessibility and privacy are well-balanced.

& #39;There are herculean efforts to move quickly and develop data and tech-driven solutions. But now more than ever before, those involved are considering data protection from the very start.& #39;
