I assume you are describing people put in quarantine. So their phones are essentially a proxy of ensuring they stay in the same place during the quarantine. I was describing the pre-quarantine contact tracing method. And I think each culture needs to set their own norms about the appropriate use of such technologies. So during the pandemic, even before we had the contact tracing system, we already organized online conversations using the same bridging technology, Pol.is, to ask people what they feel comfortable with. So to this particular idea, I think before the next pandemic we want to have such national conversations so that people know exactly what to expect because they participated in the making of the system.
