Having spent a while in QA, I'm surprised it's not "LMEO". I'm sure many people can't tell the difference.

Fun fact: According to linguists, a three year old typically recognizes no less than twenty thousand distinct words. The kid is then roughly speaking a thousand days old, and must have learned about twenty new words every single day of his life!
What are the twenty new words you have learned today?

I get called "Boomer" now by the millennials, and I am not even a baby boomer era person. If they are going to call people names at least get the age correct. ROFLMAO OMG WTF!!

You can replace all of that (i.e., reduced overhead) with:
LSHIWM
(Laughted So Hard I Wet Myself).
As a virtual 'boomer', you will find that easier and easier . . .

That's what a boomer would say, boomer 
I'm a millennial, but not a typical one because I have a house, a job and not a crippling student loan and you don't hear me complaining about how I can't get either of those because you boomers destroyed my chances

I can't say I'm surprised - Apple does at least claim they have a privacy bias. And hopefully the API mentioned in the article you link to (quoted below) will give governments just enough access to the underlying devices to permit what's required for finding interactions with infected people without leaking personal data.
Quote: Apple and Google hope to issue a developer API in a "first stage," followed by operating system integration at a future date. The initial API will only be made available to public health organizations, presumably including those in France.
I wonder about the article only mentioning the French wanting changes to iOS - does that mean they can already get all the access to devices/system services that they want in Android?
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Also, how do other countries bypass Apple's security?

From looking at TraceTogether, a Singaporean tracing app, I'd say they don't - you need to keep the app in the foreground on iOS...

No, it doesn't.

That's reassuring. I'm sure the hackers are disappointed and will promptly move on to another target then. Because that's what hackers do. History shows that's exactly how this works.

I wonder if anyone has ever played music in the car from an iPhone over bluetooth?
The claim is obviously bogus.

I play music in my car from my iPod Classic 160 GB, the only Apple product I really like 
Unfortunately, they don't make them anymore 
Perhaps the difference between the French government usage and your car usage is that you open the app to select a song, it connects using BlueTooth and after that it keeps working until you disconnect (walk away or stop the car).
I'm guessing your music doesn't continue playing after you get back to your car or restart it.
This COVID app needs to connect even when you haven't opened the app and connected to other devices.

It continues playing until the connection is broken.

Strange - I do that all the time with Android: works like a charm and provides handsfree as well ...
I guess iPhoneys are just as far behind the curve as I always suspected.
