I've been wondering about the UK contact tracing app because they seem to be deliberately misleading saying that data is secure on the phone, yet it's a centralised model, and they are using bullshit terms like "clinically secure algorithm" to describe the one-time codes;

Is the source code of these apps something that could be FOI requested from NHSx seeing as it is publicly funded by the tax payer?

Also they've already started moving the goal posts; https://www.theregister.co.uk/2020/05/04/uk_covid_app_human_...

This* came from NCSC - that image about the NHS version worries me greatly.
