So far we have documented 25 individual, significant automated contact tracing efforts globally, including details on what they are, how they work, and what policies and processes have been put in place around them. #Echobox=1588883745">https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/05/07/1000961/launching-mittr-covid-tracing-tracker/?utm_medium=tr_social&utm_campaign=site_visitor.unpaid.engagement&utm_source=Twitter #Echobox=1588883745">https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/05/0...

. @HowellONeill, @TateRyMo, @bobbie, and the rest of @techreview will continue to sift through files, documents, and interview sources to monitor the status of these coronavirus tracking apps. We hope you& #39;ll help us keep track of the apps tracking us. #Echobox=1588884327">https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/05/07/1001354/how-to-submit-a-change-to-the-covid-tracing-tracker-project/?utm_medium=tr_social&utm_source=Twitter #Echobox=1588884327">https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/05/0...
