New Zealand has just become the first country to publish an algorithm charter regulating the use of algorithms and data by government agencies:
The Algorithm charter for Aotearoa New Zealand demonstrates a commitment to ensuring New Zealanders have confidence in how government agencies use algorithms. The charter is one of many ways that government demonstrates transparency and accountability in the use of data.
To quote the Minister for Statistics:
"Using algorithms to analyse data and inform decisions does not come without its risks," he said. "It is important, therefore, that people have confidence that these algorithms are being used in a fair, ethical, and transparent way. And that's what this Charter is all about."

I should hope it would be easier for NZ, an island nation, to stop the spread of COVID-19 or avoid it altogether.
So, how's that Kim Dotcom thing going? Sent him packing to the US, yet? Good thing you sent armed forces to his mansion to make sure he knew where his place was. Yes, it was at the behest of the USA. Still, seemed like y'all were just rolling right along with it.
