Could be integrated with private sector 'eventfinda' event listings, tickets for domestic events and transport, and, allow automated contact tracing if people choose to opt in.

While Facebook and Google do a great job for free, as we've seen in Australia recently their interests do not always align with the public good. They also do not make special accommodation to indigenous data right protections - for example they indiscriminately sold data to Cambridge Analytica to allow more targeted advertisements - and as you all know, more targeted advertisements mean that advertisers of any sort would be more able to target certain vulnerable sectors of the community with their ads. This is like selling backdoor access, and is outrageous outside of an intimate context.
