A lot of this seems over-the-top, like the criticism of DoctoLib. Attacking that will just mean the alternative is calling the doctors' reception manually and hoping to get through, and then giving up all medical confidentiality to the receptionist instead...

It seems like a lot of "privacy concerns" just end up being Luddite rubbish. The expansion of CCTV is a great thing for society for example, as anyone who's been the victim of burglary or mugging will tell you (I assume the well-off authors of these awards live in pseudo-gated communities where this isn't a concern).

It's also telling that two of the items are direct consequences of the lockdowns. Hopefully people will begin to see them for what they are.
