Balancing Personal Privacy and Public Safety in Contact Tracing Apps
Summary
  • Contact tracing apps developed during the COVID-19 crisis have raised concerns about personal privacy.
  • Many contact tracing solutions are intrusive in terms of privacy, tracking users' location and sharing personal information.
  • Companies like Apple and Google, despite their efforts to present secure solutions, are not perceived as privacy-friendly organizations.
  • The trade-off between personal privacy and public safety can be mitigated by building systems that allow users to make autonomous decisions.
  • Prioritizing personal privacy in contact tracing apps can help increase user adoption and trust.
