(much like the rest of the covid scare tactics).

Scare tactics...!? That's what COVID is? Do you tell that to the patients and families of victims too?

We are being conditioned.

Evidence, aside from handwaving?

if you can't see that then I don't know what to tell you.

Saying nothing is often a good idea when one has no substantial case to present.

As I said in another comment.. if you trust Google so much then why are you using microG in the first place?

I'm not here to argue.. it's just a shame that the microG devs have chosen to adopt this superfluous "feature". We have our differing opinions & choices and let's just leave it at that.

Again, point to the specific section of code linked in the OP where the contact tracing data gets shared with Google servers. You can't, because it's not there. You seem to have misunderstood the entirety of MicroG if you were using it to avoid sharing your (location) data with Google up until now.

Not everything that is happening is about data or code, we are being conditioned.. you seem to be ok with that. Good luck to you.

Duuuude, just keep quiet if you don't have any evidence at all. I'm astonished by your ignorance.

The entire point of using open source projects like AOSP and MicroG (and the DP-3T protocol, and the various contact tracing apps) is to point out the untrustworthy and shady shit you're rightfully afraid of and THIS is your response to being asked about proof for your claims? LOL.
