<blockquote>
<p>[EN] After weeks of debate on the implications of contact-tracking applications to fight COVID-19, there is an urgent need to interrogate their effectiveness and social impact beyond privacy and data protection issues. The recent proposal by Google and Apple
imposes a model of governance of the pandemic that has been already adopted by many countries. However, the applications are useless in the face of the scarcity of other resources, such as health personnel with specific training, availability of reliable and
rapid diagnostic tests, legal reforms or socio-health responses. In addition, tracing systems based on apps could systematically exclude vulnerable social groups as well threatening individual and collective rights.</p>
<p>[ES] Tras semanas de debate sobre las implicaciones de las aplicaciones de rastreo de contactos para luchar contra la COVID-19 urge analizar su eficacia e impacto social más allá de la privacidad y protección de datos. La alianza de Google y Apple de facto
un modelo de gobernanza sanitaria desde las multinacionales que ya han aceptado muchos países. Sin embargo, las aplicaciones son inútiles ante la escasez de otros recursos, como personal sanitario con formación específica, disponibilidad de pruebas diagnósticas
fiables y rápidas, reformas legales o respuestas sociosanitarias en caso de contagio, que a día de hoy, siguen siendo insuficientes. Además, los sistemas de rastreo mediante móviles podrían excluir sistemáticamente a grupos sociales vulnerables, además de
presentar riesgos para los derechos individuales y colectivos.</p>
