• Officials told attendants that the app had nearly 8 crore downloads already

This is not needed all pre-installed apps are there for data theft .. meanwhile all the apps same but we have the option to deinstall

I support this initiative. For you guys might be a bloatware and spyware. I saw South Korea tackle COVID-19 without a lockdown because of technology and privacy laws. They have learned their lessons from MERS outbreak. If same were mandatory in India. It wouldn't be difficult to track COVID-19 host. Meanwhile government needs to eliminate normal feature phones and push Kai OS supported phones. So that smart apps and payments can be used by masses.

It's biggest comedy of the year by comparing korean government application with Indian government application

South Korean government has freedom over users data. Meanwhile Indian government's hands are tied with privacy laws.

It's nice to know. How clueless our citizens are about their own country's laws.

Mandatory instalment of the Aarogya Setu app violated delivery partners' constitutional right to privacy, say legal experts.

This isn't going to be an issue anymore, once the government makes this app mandatory.
