Coronavirus: Apple and France in stand-off over contact-tracing app
France is pressing Apple to let its forthcoming coronavirus contract-tracing app work in the background on iPhones without building in the privacy measures the US company wants.
The country's digital minister confirmed the request in an interview given to Bloomberg. France's system would let it glean more information about participating smartphone owners than Apple and its partner Google want to allow. Privacy experts view it as a test case. "Apple has no reason to agree to this demand and it would open the door to many other requests from other countries and entities," Prof Olivier Blazy from the country's University of Limoges, told BBC News. "As a Frenchman, I think it would be useful to avoid being dependent on the Google-Apple solution but I think it's strange that the government strategy relies on trying to convince Apple to do something that is against its interest, with no incentive to do so." -

RAID drives are a marketing farce. People kinda get whats expected when relying on self implying advertising.

Vivaldi, Brave and Opera builtin blocker is ok but its no where close to uBlock Origin. The custom filters and rules you can do with uBlock Origin is far more useful.
