Singapore leading the way for privacy
https://www.zdnet.com/article/singap...nvestigations/
Singapore has confirmed its law enforcers will be able to access the country's COVID-19 contact tracing data to aid in their criminal investigations. To date, more than 4.2 million residents or 78% of the local population have adopted the TraceTogether contact tracing app and wearable token, which is one of the world's highest penetration rates.
This figure is double that of the adoption rate just three months ago in September, when TraceTogether had clocked 2.4 million downloads or about 40% of the population. A recent spike likely was fuelled by the government's announcement that use of the app or token would be mandatory for entry into public venues in early-2021, when it was able to distribute the token to anyone who wanted one.

However, the Singapore government now has confirmed local law enforcement will be able to access the data for criminal investigations. Under the Criminal Procedure Code, the Singapore Police Force can obtain any data and this includes TraceTogether data, according to Minister of State for Home Affairs, Desmond Tan. He was responding to a question posed during parliament Monday on whether the TraceTogether data would be used for criminal probes and the safeguards governing the use of such data.

Singapore is an awesome place to visit. However they have are the worst place to live as far as surveillance and privacy goes, worse than China srs. But I guess it's easy to control and conduct surveillance over 6 million people or so. Great for controlling the spread of covid (even though they weren't that successful compared to other countries, maybe bc it is an international hub) but couldn't imagine myself basically giving your entire existence to the govt.
