France shames Apple for not sacrificing user privacy for COVID-19 app
For the most part, the way France has handled COVID-19 has be exemplary. The government has been very helpful to workers who have had to stay at home or who have been put out of work, have been very clear in communicating why policies have been put in place without politicizing the issues, and is quite respected here even though the opposition are being immoral jerks. People are the priority. They even worked out how to transfer those on ventilators via TGV to another part of the country where hospital space was available. The competence has been refreshing to be around. With that being said, France should change their decision and go with the Apple/Google API. The insistence on trying to shame Apple into modifying the OS to make it less secure is short-sighted. I hope they come to the correct decision soon.
