Civil rights group sues DPH over alleged Google 'spyware
"The [Massachusetts] state Department of Public Health was accused of working with Google to “secretly” install COVID-19 contact tracing “spyware” onto more than 1 million Android smartphones."
"The New Civil Liberties Alliance, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit, filed a lawsuit this week in U.S. District Court on behalf of two Bay State Android users, who allege that a DPH contact tracing app was downloaded onto their phones on or around July 1, 2021, without their 'permission or awareness.'"

But was it activated? iPhone downloaded their tracing app without my permission but it was turned off.
Although other Apple spyware has been found to be active even with the user setting it to disable.

This is on Android phones and, according to the article, "If someone doesn't opt in, their information is still shared via Bluetooth and becomes available to Google, DPH, and other third parties, which trace the user's identity and past contacts through device information, the complaint stated"

Could have sworn I read skimmed the whole article but somehow missed that. Thanks!

Turn Bluetooth off.

Turn Bluetooth off.
My Bluetooth stays on all the time because of my hearing aids so that wouldn’t work (if I had an Android).

I use my earbuds to listen to music at the gym and elsewhere so mine is always on too.

I guess it all depends on whose ox is getting gored.
What do you want to bet “The New Civil Liberties Alliance” wouldn’t lift a finger to help a conservative being spied upon.
