Apple and Google announced a partnership on Friday in which the two companies will work together to provide tools that will help track the spread of coronavirus.

Apple said both companies will launch developer tools (called APIs) in May that will "enable interoperability between Android and iOS devices using apps from public health authorities."

"Second, in the coming months, Apple and Google will work to enable a broader Bluetooth-based contact tracing platform by building this functionality into the underlying platforms," Apple said in a press release.

Posting in a thread about it on the Internet isn’t “doing something” about it at all.

You’ll all post here and then go about your lives.

Congratulations, Apple and Google. You're both months late and providing a service already developed and managed by state and federal government. By all means though, please continue tracking my every movement so as to protect us all.

The largest producer of phones (apparently much better than iPhone and Samsung phones) in the world is a company from China. Gotta love how the US decides they can’t sell in the US because they could, and most like would, use the phones to spy on us. But, also the US “hey American companies you can spy all you want, but we get to listen to, okay?”

I will say, that if their spying is no better than the Google Assistant, they are going to have a lot of inaccurate info. Bitch listens to everything but understand nothing. She hears random shite that isn't correct and offers her input when I don't even ask. I should just marry her.

You are really denying that people on here were lamenting shutdowns and used SK as an example of getting past this without shutting down the economy?
