Kicking off, @trishgreenhalgh warns against technological determinism.
Tech can help with this crisis, but we mustn'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'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' 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

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.

'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.'
