[MEDIA] Chatting with @PaulHUCB re Tracking Apps and Social Media in #Coronavirus Times

This evening (morning UK time), I had a chat with Paul Hammond on UCB Radio

The conversation was triggered by the UK planning to produce a COVID tracking app (see Business Insider, or UnHerd), and whether it’s the ‘thin end of the wedge’ re privacy. There’s also an app that was developed by teams working with King’s College that I know a number of people have voluntarily used. We then went onto talk about how social media is helping us communicate through the pandemic, and maybe there’s some things we (and churches) need to learn for the future).
