tracking apps on phones

How do you feel about governments talking about encouraging or forcing people with a smartphone to install/accept/allow special 'contact tracing' tracking apps to map/monitor the spread/distribution of Sars-COV-2 aka Covid-18/19/20 in your community as an incentive to relax or roll-back 'lockdown' or quarantine restrictions?

Yes all mobile phones are already automatically 'tracked' by the phone companies, but not from a law enforcement angle. And yes every single mobile phone in use today has been manufactured in China. Go figure.

The other alternative is to stop using mobiles completely and revert to using a landline phone only. Here in Australia that's still possible even with the oldskool fixed-line network being replaced by the NBN.
