TousAntiCovid has been blocked from all sides since its launch in October 2020. I have to say this The application is far from unanimous. Its true usefulness at the outset was often questioned, sometimes even by associations that demanded a definitive report on its results – which they would never obtain. Then we also encountered a scandal regarding the use of French confidential data, although the government claimed that it was not hiding anything in this area.
Today, the practice is more or less sunk into oblivion Following the removal of restrictions on the health card, the CNIL took the matter a little further with its latest report published on Monday, July 4. First observation: TousAntiCovid yet No major updates received This has been going on for several months, which is not surprising considering the current situation and the measures taken regarding the epidemic. On the other hand, the Commission is clear on one point: TousAntiCovid is only “marginal benefit”.
TousAntiCovid works too complicated to actually work
In other words, CNIL not very convinced about the real usefulness of TousAntiCovid. The contact tracing system, which theoretically makes it possible to alert users when they cross paths with an infected person, is actually subject to a restriction. too many conditions to be truly effective. This “highly dependent on the number of applications actively used”particularly highlights the CNIL.
Even if TousAntiCovid will be the most downloaded app in history, as Cédric O claims, we should also add this:e Bluetooth must be activated on both respective smartphones and their owners have added their health status to the system. Not to mention the fact that the connection may fail. Gold, « usage statistics of the contact tracing function […] Doesn’t seem very high »points out the CNIL.
Therefore the organization recommends the use of the application only during periods when the risk of contamination is high.
