[ParanoidTimes] Shin Bet Uses Secret Mobile Phone Social Graph System to Track Coronavirus Exposure



Israel: Shin Bet Uses Secret Mobile Phone Social Graph System to Track Coronavirus Exposure
March 16th, 2020

Lunatic fringe, hair on fire conspiracy theorists: Right again.

Via: New York Times:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel has authorized the country's internal security agency to tap into a vast and previously undisclosed trove of cellphone data to retrace the movements of people who have contracted the coronavirus and identify others who should be quarantined because their paths crossed.

The unprecedented move to use data secretly gathered to combat terrorism for public health efforts was debated for hours on Sunday by Mr. Netanyahu's holdover cabinet.


The existence of the data trove and the legislative framework under which it is amassed and used have not previously been reported. The plan to apply it to fighting the virus, alluded to only vaguely by Mr. Netanyahu, has not yet been debated by lawmakers or revealed to the public.

The idea is to sift through geolocation data routinely collected from Israeli cellphone providers about millions of their customers in Israel and the West Bank, find people who came into close contact with known virus carriers, and send them text messages directing them to isolate themselves immediately.
