Copasir requests hearings from Speranza, Pisano and director Dis. Soro: 'Immune app useful only if you swab' (ANSA)


There is still controversy over the App for the 'Immune' tracking. The Guarantor for Privacy, Antonello Soro, declares that it would be useful only in the event that it was possible to immediately swab all those found infected. While Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio rejects any criticism, remembering that in any case we are all already tracked on social media. Copasir, to investigate the implications of an App of this type, convenes in the hearing the ministers of Health Hope and Innovation Pisano, the director of Dis, Gennaro Vecchione and Roberto Baldoni, deputy director for cybersecurity of Dis.

"The assessments made by the Prime Minister go in the right direction, that is, a use of technology that is part of a more complex strategy. But it will not be enough to trace the contacts without efficient intervention by the health system and timely diagnostic tests. If they are not done swabs immediately after identifying potential infects, it is all useless.

The foundation of this system is trust. To reach a very high percentage of adhesion, citizens must have great confidence, there can be no improvisation by regions, provinces, municipalities ". This is the point of view of the Guarantor for Privacy, Antonello Soro, interviewed by Radio Capital .

For Soro, "the shared choice of a bluetooth technology, which measures close contacts, goes in the right direction. It will be good that this happens with the least possible invasiveness compared to citizens' private lives. Trust is very important, if this app is perceived as an unwelcome obligation, at which point the citizen leaves the smartphone at home and any effectiveness of this strategy is lost ".
