隐私 Privacy & 安全 Safety
which is more important during the virus outbreak?
安全与隐私哪个更重要?
Things have changed so much here in Shenzhen compared to two months ago. People are not allowed to go anywhere without temperature check and are asked to scan QR codes to register and report their travel history on the metro, bus, in the taxi etc.
This has raised the question of whether this is invasion of privacy.
It might be concerning for some people for the information the Chinese authority is collecting from them.
So what’s the purpose of all these scanning?
There is only one purpose – to track you down, and inform you if there are confirmed cases reported at the places you’ve been to. Or if unfortunately you got infected, to inform the people who have been to places you’ve been to.
Also, due to the pandemic, people who enter China from 19 countries with outbreak will be put in a compulsory quarantine for 14 days. Some have no problem with it, but some are unwilling.
We all know the purpose of the quarantine is to stop the virus spreading. But it might be
difficult for some people to be quarantined for 14 days. Some even think that it’s violation of human rights.
What do you think? Which is more important for you?
