COVIDsafe, The New Surveillance and Privacy-violating App<\/h2>\n

Originally launched by the Australian Government, it has exceeded over 5 million downloads in a country whose population is around 25 million. That means 20% of Australians have bought the fear and propaganda around COVID-19 to the extent that they would willingly give up their privacy and liberty for a bit of purported security. The back-end of the app runs on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform, allowing Jeff Bezos\u2019 Amazon corporation (and thus the US Government, with which it is joined at the hip) to potentially seize the data of Australian citizens. The coronavirus crisis has had its fair share of propagandistic terms: the new normal<\/strong>, flatten the curve, contact tracing<\/strong> (a buzz-phrase meaning nothing more than surveillance), and now the name for the new app, COVIDSafe<\/strong>, yet another typical example of the way governments exploit safety to become tyrannical (we\u2019re only violating and enslaving you to protect public health and safety).<\/p>\n

COVIDSafe: Who Controls the Data?<\/h3>\n

The COVIDSafe app is a clear power grab \u2013 specifically a data grab<\/strong> \u2013 and a way to accelerate the surveillance agenda. We\u2019re going to look at a couple of mainstream articles on the topic. The first is from a mainstream yet thoughtful perspective. This article from TheConversation.com states:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThis contact tracing model is also not open source software, and as such is not subject to audit or oversight. As it has currently been deployed in Singapore, it also places a government authority in control of the transfer of valuable contact and connection details.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It then warns about the voluntary becoming permanent (without realizing this is the exact way<\/strong> governments operate when they role out tyrannical regulations \u2013 they weaken resistance by initially making them temporary and voluntary only to make them mandatory later):<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAnd in the apps created to respond to particular situations, there\u2019s always the question of: \u201cwho owns the data?\u201d. A pandemic-tracing app would need to have a limited lifetime, even if the user forgets to uninstall the COVID-19 app after victory has been declared over the pandemic. It must not become the de facto operational scenario \u2013 this would have major societal ramifications.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The 2nd<\/sup> MSM Article: Shaming and Blaming Those Who Don\u2019t Want to be Surveilled or ‘Vaxxed’<\/h3>\n

In the second article, ‘People who refuse to download the COVIDSafe virus tracing app are the new anti-vaxxers’<\/em> is pure MSM trash. It\u2019s sort of painful to read such rubbish but it\u2019s useful once in a while to remember the state of mind and state of being of some people, who are too afraid and brainwashed to understand the inflated threat of COVID. Some of these people are even vociferously advocating for their own enslavement. This article shames and bashes those who refuse the Orwellian contact tracing app<\/strong>, comparing them to anti-vaxxers<\/strong>. Here\u2019s a list of the insults the article contains:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. accusations that those with genuine privacy concerns about the app as selfish;<\/li>\n
  2. mocks those who are concerned the app will drain their phone\u2019s battery life;<\/li>\n
  3. claims those who oppose vaccination (anti-vaxxers) \u201ccompromise public health with their dangerous messaging.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This is a common and fallacious claim of pro-vaxxers<\/strong>. The idea is that those who don\u2019t vaccinate endanger the rest of society, but if vaccines work, then the vaccinated have nothing to fear. If vaccines are truly effective, then the vaccinated are saved and protected, and the unvaccinated would only harm themselves. This is clear and obvious, yet many pro-vaxxers fall into this trap of illogic by touting vaccine-induced herd immunity, which is a pseudoscientific myth;<\/p>\n
