COVID-19: application with Apple API gains momentum in Europe

According to the British press agencyReuters, Immuni, the iOS client dedicated to limiting the spread ofcoronavirusin Italy, has already won over 2.2 million Internet users on the other side of the Alps. Local authorities have thus managed to make short work of the reluctance linked to confidentiality through communication campaigns praising the decentralized nature of their software. This is also based on a joint initiative between Google and Apple.

The Cupertino company has just been reprimanded to the tune of thirty million euros in France, for not having been clear enough with its iTunes and Apple Music subscribers precisely about theprotection of personal datas. This time, however, no private information would be collected or transmitted without the consent of users. This is also affirmed by the executive of our country, which still struggles to convince with 1.5 million registrations for the latest news.

But since then, Norway's European reference in terms of domestic politics (the Scandinavian and one of the richest and socially developed in the world, first on the HDI and with a democracy index of 9.87/10)abandoned his own attempt. In question, precisely too few testers and above all protection ofprivate lifedoubtful,like the discoveries of Mediapart in France.
