Chống Covid-19: Dùng điện thoại theo dõi người dân
19 Sep, 2023
như đài loan, hàn quốc áp dụng,
nhưng các nước phương tây chưa muốn vì biện pháp này không được ưa thích và gây tranh cãi

…while I have written about Taiwan’s use of cellphone-enforced quarantines for recent travelers and close contacts of those infected, I should also note that every single positive infection (ca nhiễm, dương tính) — symptomatic (có tính chất triệu chứng) or not — is isolated away from (bị cách ly) their home and family. That is also the case in South Korea, and while it was the case for Singaporean citizens, it was not the case for migrant workers, which is a major reason why the virus has exploded in recent weeks.
Here’s the thing, though: isolating people is hard. It would be very controversial. It would require overbearing police powers (sức mạnh cảnh sát) that people in the West are intrinsically allergic to (về bản chất rất dị ứng). Politicians that instituted such a policy would be very unpopular. It is so much easier to let tech companies build a potential magic bullet (viên đạn bạc), and then demand they let government use it; most people wouldn’t know or wouldn’t care, which appears to matter more than whether or not the approach would actually work (or, to put it another way, it appears that the French government sees privacy as a club with which to beat tech companies, not a non-negotiable principle their citizens demand).
So that is why I have changed my mind: Western governments are not willing to take actions that we know work because it would be unpopular and controversial (indeed, the fact that central quarantine is so clearly a violation of liberties is arguably a benefit, because there is no way people would tolerate it once the crisis is over). And, on the flipside, that makes digital surveillance too dangerous to build. Politicians would rather leverage tech companies to violate liberty on the sly, and tech companies, once they have the capability, are all too willing to offload the responsibility of using it wisely to whatever government entity is willing to give them cover. There just isn’t much evidence that either side is willing to make hard choices.
