Delrio: 'Delicate terrain that concerns constitutional freedoms'. Salvini: 'Obvious problems, who manages the data? '(ANSA)


"It is important that contact tracing is being chosen as part of the strategy to safely conduct 'phase two'. But such a delicate terrain, which concerns people's constitutional rights and freedoms, cannot be addressed exclusively with the instrument of the commissioner's order ". This was stated by the group leader Pd in ​​the Graziano Delrio Chamber

"We must proceed quickly - Delrio explains - and confront the government but as in other countries and taking into account the indications of the Privacy Guarantor, on the security of sensitive data of people tracked by the app it is necessary that the matter be examined by the Chambers, as already requested by the Transport Commission of Montecitorio, in the hope of reaching a shared norm. Ownership and public management of data and the absence of discrimination between citizens in full respect of privacy must be ensured ".

"With the Government's choice to use the 'Immuni' app to track the contacts of those infected with coronavirus, in order to limit the effects of a possible second wave, the theme of privacy -  says Fiammetta Modena of Fi - returns forcefully , because it closely concerns the processing of personal data of all Italian citizens. As early as April 1st, the INPS website, which was to manage applications for the VAT registration bonus provided for in the "Cura-Italia" decree, crashed , preventing access to people.

Many have also reported that, after logging in with their username and password, they could see the questions of other users with their personal and confidential information. This time will the government manage to guarantee respect for privacy? Who will all sensitive data be managed by? The government also thinks of traffic restrictions for those who choose not to download the app. "" A serious debate in Parliament on freedom and protection of privacy is urgent, it cannot fall on our heads for circulars and Dpcm a simple ordinance that the emergency commissioner Covid Domenico Arcuri signed a few days ago, "he concludes.

"Using new technologies to fight the virus is useful, but with all the guarantees due to Italian citizens. A commissioner cannot certainly derogate from constitutional rights without Parliament, and therefore the People, being invested with such delicate decisions. Furthermore, on the "Immuni app" some serious critical issues are evident, many raised, among which: who manages the collected data, where they are stored and for how much and for whom is the ownership of the data? Guarantee the protection of rights and private data of for the League is fundamental, the path chosen by the government is dangerous. Our freedom is not for sale ". This was stated by the secretary of the League Matteo Salvini about the Immuni app .
