well, that's the centralised implementation, which i also don't like. iirc there's a decentralised implementation where, instead of tracking your location and sending it to a central server, each device would have a uuid. whenever you come near someone, both of your devices would just swap uuids and take note of them, and if either of you catches covid, they can just open that list of collected uuids and use that to notify the people who came into contact with them. imo not only is this more privacy-friendly, but it saves infrastructure costs from not having to host centralised servers.

I can't seem to see why, enlighten me please
I would agree with you on this if it weren't for the fact that scam ads are so widespread on Youtube and Google that it's almost like they don't care about their users, only money. If they don't care about their users, why should I care about their bottom line. Also, ads I don't have too much of a problem with, but data collection and surveillance I do, and it's hard to block one without blocking the other.
right, this would be cool if it's self hostable. i wouldn't hold my breath though, knowing microsoft.
i hear this sentiment often and as a younger person i feel like i missed out on something cool
I really don't see how adblockers would ever be illegal, that sounds like an absolute dystopia.
