Surveillance was the priority all along, with "anti-spam" blockchain servicing that need, no need to maintain apps. Meanwhile, device surveillance was moved to #AarogyaSetu.

Please visit India - We are the lab where fully centralized infrastructures have been piloted at scale and have had multiple disasters like #Aadhaar, #Demonetisation, #AarogyaSetu, #UPI, #FASTag, #CoWIN

Every one of those systems which deny people their ability to transact

While we are there, who will tell the full Indian story, starting from #AarogyaSetu to NTAGI to vaccine trials, pricing, AEFI.

There are enough competition to Fauci and team in India as well.

We thought Fauci was tolerating Trump for the public good and doing the right thing despite the idiot. He was serving himself and protecting the racket. He is the one I would want to know the full story. Trump is inconsequential…

The lack of imagination around verifiability and trusting on a proprietary QR is the problem. Not everyone is going to have android app (The #AarogyaSetu paradox) / know http://verify.cowin.gov.in should be used to verify is too much to expect. Need pure analog methods

Tech, health & transparency activists have long asked who built #AarogyaSetu coz Indians need to know who's accountable if it fails/harms, who gets data, who will maintain #privacy, who has govt's ear. @medianama found evidence for 33 contributors! https://www.medianama.com/2020/05/223-aarogya-setu-contributors/

#AarogyaSetu app leaked a user’s latitude and longitude (precise location) to a YouTube server (how? why?).
Google, which owns YouTube, said that the Aarogya Setu app appeared to have sent the location data inadvertently - but how?

The application is described as “privacy-first by design”. Without a legal framework for personal data protection like GDPR in Europe, there is no mechanism through which a citizen can upload data to a centralized server and be assured that the data will be handled as explained by the developers.

#FSFIndia on #AarogyaSetu app release as #FreeSoftware.

It is the first step towards achieving "transparency, privacy, and security" as mentioned by CEO of NITI Aayog, Amitabh Kant as the core values on which the application was designed. However, we stress that, this is only a first step and we hope that the government will follow up with some more actions that further strengthen the commitment made towards transparency, privacy and security.

@piratesin is drafting a statement about release of Aarogya Setu Android client app. FSCI and FSF India will probably have separate statements too. Please go through the draft and suggest changes.

“#AarogyaSetu is a success story, it has been downloaded 90 millions times”

Forcing people to install an app, doesn’t make a success story. It just means that repression works
