PM Netanyahu says such measures could infringe civilian privacy but he has 'no choice'. FMTNews Israel
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says such measures could infringe civilian privacy but he has ‘no choice’.
“We will very soon begin using technology … digital means that we have been using in order to fight terrorism,” Netanyahu said. He said he had requested Justice Ministry approval because such measures could infringe patients’ privacy. Avner Pinchuk, a privacy expert with the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, said such capabilities could include real-time tracking of infected persons’ mobile phones to spot quarantine breaches and backtracking through meta-data to figure out where they had been and who they had contacted.
“In all my years as prime minister I have avoided using these means among the civilian public but there is no choice,” Netanyahu said.
