‘This ain’t good’: Google tool designed to help public officials ensure people are ‘abiding by social-distancing measures’ is NOT getting rave reviews

Proponents of Super Big Government™ are certainly looking for some prime opportunities amid the coronavirus outbreak. Case-in-point:

Google launching tool that will publicly track people's movements, allowing health officials to check whether their communities are abiding by social-distancing measures. https://t.co/pbtrUqAVmP

What could possibly go wrong? Let’s just say that news isn’t getting rave reviews:

And I’m sure when the crisis has passed, google and the government will totally not use this tool anymore forever. https://t.co/s627jXyK3o

Is the tool precise enough to tell if people are within 6 feet of each other? This is bullshit, it's not about social distancing, it's about the government having an excuse to track all citizens.

Government no longer inching its way into your homes! They are now taking giant steps!

This is definitely not a terrible terrible idea that we'll agree to during a crisis-induced panic and then it will just never go away https://t.co/Bxe3DDqYwv

I’m all for the social distancing and staying in as much as possible, but this is just too much.

This is NOT OK people! At some point we are going to have to stand up and say no more. https://t.co/nP7WMRs5Gd

The real crisis is how much power the government has seized the past few weeks. https://t.co/aERee9KBsZ

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg of all the backlash.
