May be being grumpy due to tedious data cleaning, but some of the posts here seem to be insinuating that the tracing app is essentially a Vote Leave data collection tool which was simultaneously written by incompetent people and will kill your battery and fail to actually work, while also provide the government, and specifically Cummings, with every piece of data about you they could ever want. All of which is surprisingly insightful since it's not been released and is still in testing.

It's just divide-and-rule in action again and YOU COMPLETELY FAIL TO SEE IT! :)

While you are right that it is too early to say anything really, tbh I don't think this is such a bad default assumption either.
This is the consequence of governments not being seen as particularly keen on protecting your data, or keeping their own fingers off it: the trust in them getting it right is very very low.

Unless Apple and Google somehow grant the app special privileges on their platforms to do stuff with Bluetooth and background activity that other apps can't, we already know the limits of what's technically possible.
It's not really about competence, other than persuing this particular path at all.
