Coronavirus: Call for single EU tracking app with data protection
EU data watchdog calls for a single, privacy-centred virus app, instead of dozens of national ones.BBC News
There is a nice infographic in this article explaining how the global COVID-19 tracking app could work but they missed a few things. Here is revised and improved variant 😀
This looks like a shameful general #surveillance law entirely unfitting for any free democracy.

This time it's the EU, but the fallacy "if you're against surveillance, you're for child sex abuse" has been successfully used in the US as well.
This article about a #CIA offshoot funding several prominent Internet #privacy projects is pretty damning on its own, but it will not change my app usage decision. I do not personally use #Signal to be protected from nation-state level #surveillance.
However, it put in perspective Edward Snodwen's recent "testimonial" for the app as being alive as a good reason to use Signal. Now I do not believe this is the main reason or even a reason at all he hasn't been assassinated on the US government orders yet.
Bottom line, even if Signal had a US-government backdoor, I'd still recommend its use to protect oneself from corporate surveillance.
