This is a privacy issue, in the country which thinks so highly of the GDPR. So it's not something which they should be able to sweep under the rug as if nothing happened. As the article explains, the issue is far bigger than just vulnerabilities, it's about how politics supported this app.<p>If this would be some other thing, like the implementation of a video surveillance system in the political center of Berlin, or any other important place, they would have taken care to at least adhere to the basics in how to give whom the job to do this, how it will be licensed/owned, how it will be run, what happens with the data. A thorough check of the company would have been made.<p>But in this case? It's a small startup with no expertise whatsoever in data protection, expecting the silliest terms and conditions, and the politicians are just glad to throw the money at them, and even expecting citizens to install this app if they want to take part in public life.<p>This is as crazy as it gets and shows how incapable they are of controlling this pandemic, even how little they care to seriously work on it, and I wonder how much this represents what they have been doing over the last decade in general.<p>I was glad to install the Corona-Warn-App and am a bit sad that there are so few people using it, but it was implemented correctly. Not only from a technical point of view.<p>But should any of these apps become a requirement to participate in public life, I'd take it as far as going to jail for not installing or uninstalling it.
