If it was just for COVID Radar, right? The truth is that both the authorities of half the world and the Spaniards have repeatedly and with impunity violated the rights of citizens throughout the coronavirus pandemic. The pandemic, which, beware, has yet to be considered over, even though the majority of the population takes it for granted.

It’s not like that. Without going any further, it is already planned here in Spain to vaccinate anyone who is left with a fourth dose of covid vaccine in the autumn, something they are most likely to do under the guise of a new variant, a new wave or anything else. is the third It is important to deliver a punishment that is paid and expires.

Another tool used to “fight” coronavirus is Radar COVID, a Spanish mobile application that did not become available until mid-2020 and, like many others from various locations, was an absolute failure. more ways than one.

The first is adoption, and the vast majority of those who came to install it quickly got rid of it. To date, the Android version of Radar COVID has more than five million downloads and an average score of 2.9 out of 5. From bad to worst, depending on the type of tool in question.

However, in addition to the numerous errors reported by those who had the honor of recording their test, or the apparently zero impact of the application on health, COVID Radar has generated many privacy concerns from the beginning, many of which have turned out to be true rather than predicted.

COVID radar was launched with the knowledge that it has vulnerabilities in its design that allow deanonymization of information, of which As many as 8 articles of the RGPD were violated, which is why the Agency for Personal Data Protection submitted an application to the governmentalthough it is a public administration, it remained a dead report, with no fines or consequences.

Be that as it may, Radar COVID will stop receiving updates next November, and while it works, it will continue to work, we already know what it means when an application is left unattended, let alone with a Radar COVID security record. Not to mention that, given its limited success, its use is pointless.

For more information, the COVID Radar barely helped to register 1% of confirmed infections, or about 120,000 cases. If its development and maintenance cost around € 4.2 million, each of these cases cost around € 35 million. The obvious failure that the government announced its departure a few months ago and is now confirming the farewell date.
