gollark: Bluetooth Low Energy, apparently, which is still problematic but better than... not having data, I guess, or having it in a really bad for privacy way.
gollark: The privacy-respecting scheme involves using Bluetooth on individual phones to send anonymized tokens or something, and any privacy regulations around phone tower data (in the US) appear to basically be a joke.
gollark: There's been a proposal for privacy-friendly phone-based contact tracing, and it seems pretty good, so I'd accept that if the application is open-source, and doesn't send excessive data.
gollark: The UK doesn't seem to actually have very much of a plan to stop the lockdown thing either.
gollark: They do do it badly in some ways, though...
