What's wrong with...

Things that fall short of the mark (in our opinion). Where they do, why, and how... What could make them better?

Do I have to change? The answer to that depends on your comfort with what Facebook did / is doing. And may depend on a lot of things. Some people are jumping ship - others are prepared to weather the storm. Let me explain...

Did you know that roaming charges are the only thing limited?

2020-10-02 More COVID Alert news coverage. Sometimes it's bad to be right.

First, if you are coming here directly there was an earlier article. It's linked here: https://www.bitblock.com/blog/whats-wrong-with/94-bc-in-adopting-the-covid-alert-app

 

Tonight, I found another article. https://globalnews.ca/news/7369875/canadians-access-covid-alert-app/

Finally. People are starting to pay attention to the issue. The article mentions some key details I'd forgotten - worth a read.
