Thai Chana does not violate personal data

[Guderian]

I've not used it yet, but I understand that you have to enter your phone number manually after you've scanned the QR code at a shop? If the app installed on your phone doesn't even know what your phone number is, then I believe their claim that it doesn't access your personal data. The big question is, then what on earth is the point of this stupid app? It can't do accurate contact tracing like the South Korean one can, so why bother with it?

in government speech, "the public do not have to be concerned because the government will protect their personal information and will not use it for any other purpose. "

 

means "we are so totally using it for other purposes"

April's fool ?

Not sure what's up with the site in the last hour or so.  Scanning the code when checking in / out just brought up the name of the mall / shop with a green 'check-in' and an amber 'check out' icon.  Pressing either just resulted in a perpetually spinning wheel, like a page loading symbol that never completed / connected.  So I just walked in and out.  Maybe the system's is down, overloaded or some other issue like <deleted> coding.  Either way, not my problem and I'm sure not gonna pi55 about finding what if anything needs to be done for it to work.

Ok. Good

Yinn in another topic about the same thing you finally convinced me to do the right thing

and download the app to comply with what is good for Thailand and all

who live here.

Went to Makro(the same one i had to write my name and phone number before)and had my phone out to

be instructed to download the app.

Guess what?No need to do that anymore,what is going on Yinn?

Can you just take care of this?

Many people their phone storage is nearly full besides that i doubt they will be “happy” to install some app on their own phone that they haven’t asked for.

If no infection is reported, members of the public do not have to be concerned because the government will protect their personal information and will not use it for any other purpose.

What they mean is there is no reason for concern because there is bloody little one can do to prevent government surveillance even if they tell you they are doing it, as is the case in most western countries. 

That ship sailed years ago. You can run but you can't hide.

 

It's the new normal. The virus simply lets them take another bite out of privacy with minimum pushback from a scared and distracted public who are largely complacent about the issue already.
