The French contact tracing application StopCovid* “has surpassed the milestone of one million users,” said the French Secretary of State for Digital Affairs, Cédric O, on Saturday morning on RMC radio.
The application is highly criticized by those who fear it may pave the way for a surveillance society.
The effectiveness of the smartphone application depends on the number of people using it, but it is particularly useful for people living in urban areas, “who use public transportation and go to bars and restaurants,” emphasized Cédric O.
