COVID-19 Contact Tracing App Privacy

Season 1 Episode 12

COVID-19 contact tracing through mobile devices and applications has become prevalent and popular around the globe but questions remain: How will it affect human rights and civil liberties? Are they secure or even technologically feasible? Will they contribute or detract from our public health? We have gathered experts in law and privacy, cybersecurity, and epidemiology to address all aspects of these issues.
