    If the state wants to track and trace you it can easily do it, there are several ways that they can do it legally and many more illegal ways. So why would they bother adding your data to thousands of others to then pull out later when they can easily track an individual?

    Because some people will always want to feel like they are being personally affected even when it's not the case.

    how anonymous? they haven't said.

    I do a lot of work with data as part of my work in IT - anonymous data can be used to build a picture and suddenly you aren't so anonymous .

    Understandable, I get your point on this
    Is that known as k-anonymity or something I think?

    Convoluted example, but like in the example of the 5k thing, if there were only two people living in a rural area and they are both anonymous then the k-anonymity value is 2 because they are anonymous but we know it's one of those 2 people

    I'd imagine they have some way of making sure this doesn't happen but I'm not sure what it is

    Couldn't give a ****e really. It's not like they'll actually learn anything from my movements (or lack thereof).

    They could learn what you had for dinner.

    But you'll presumably appreciate that others may have a a different view of their movements being shared without there consent?

    Your 'lack of movement' is exactly what they're hoping to learn from it, btw.

    Anonymous data?

    Are you sure you know what is happening here?

    Are you sure you know the challenges and dangers of anonymising data?
