Only those who comply will travel!
Not such a theory after all. https://t.co/p2ZGzmrx0r
And who is the WHO partnering with to develop the technical infrastructure? Deutsche Telekom, of course. Which is not only "German-based", as so many reports have put it, but still around 1/3-owned by the German govt. https://t.co/nfKxnw0mTQ
