Corona Detective - Find out who gave you COVID19

This is a Chrome based tool that intercepts all broadcasted, Covid-related random Bluetooth codes.

Once the point that this project has sparked enough awareness about the current over-simplified narratives around contact tracing technology, it will be taken offline. In any case, from the 1st of januari 2021 the tool will no longer work.

the complete T&C:

This is an art project by Tijmen Schep. It was built to make a point: the system that Google and Apple have created is useful, but we should refrain from saying it’s 100% anonymous. It’s not.

The goal is not to spread fear. Please keep using the contact tracing apps if you already are. I just wanted you to make an informed decision, and fight the simplistic narratives that this tech is 100% anonymous.

Use of this tool in the Netherlands is not allowed! This is because of our temporary corona laws. I don’t know the specifics about other European countries. In any case, make sure you have someone’s permission before storing their codes.

You are only allowed to use this tool for testing, and to inform yourself that this really is a valid risk to privacy. Don’t use it to actually surveil those around you. Someone’s health status is sensitive personal data, so collecting it without a valid legal ground (e.g. their permission) is illegal.

By using this tool you absolve me, the artist, from any legal or other ramifications. Use it at your own risk.
