CDT Discussion Series:
A Debate on the Risks of Bluetooth Contact Tracing

Countries around the world ([link removed]), and state governments ([link removed]) in the United States, are deploying Bluetooth-enabled proximity apps to notify people that they may have been exposed to a person who has COVID-19. Developers are scrambling to produce these contact tracing apps, and Google and Apple are developing an Application Program Interface ([link removed]) to facilitate their deployment.

Are these apps effective, and can the privacy, equality, and “mission creep" concerns that surround them be addressed? This issue will come to a head when Stanford Law School’s Albert Gidari and the ACLU’s Neema Singh Guliani headline the next CDT COVID-19 webinar and debate whether, at this time, the potential benefits of Bluetooth-enabled contact tracing outweigh the risks. Gidari will argue the affirmative, and Guliani will argue the negative.

Space is limited, so please RSVP ([link removed]) if you plan to join us. Once you have RSVP'ed, instructions to join by computer and by phone will be sent to your inbox prior to the event.
