What Laurence Maillart-Méhaignerie think, Sarah El Haïry, Philippe Gosselin, Guillaume Garot and Matthieu Orphelin from StopCovid? While this digital application raises some passions, they respond…
Does the StopCovid application infringe liberties?
This is the most controversial issue among parliamentarians. Deputy LR of the Channel, Philippe Gosselin expresses real fears. No one can tell us when the state of emergency will be lifted, or when this application will no longer be needed. In addition, ambiguities exist regarding the anonymization of data. “
Doubts also shared by Guillaume Garot, Socialist deputy of Mayenne. I am against a general surveillance society. And this app doesn’t seem to guarantee privacy
. The deputy of Maine-et-Loire Matthieu Orphelin (Libertés et Territoires) believes, no need to open Pandora’s box. “
While recalling that the French are already traced by many digital tools
, Laurence Maillart-Méhaignerie, LREM MP forIlle-et-Vilaine, would like the application– “voluntary use” –
preserves everyone’s freedom. Its use must be supervised ”.
Only Sarah El Haïry, deputy MoDem of Loire Atlantique, ensures that the app respects freedoms. I worked on the subject with an MEP. And I am reassured ”.
Is this a really useful tool?
Philippe Gosselin would like to have more information. I’m not refusing to see how technology can be interesting in fighting the virus. But for now, it’s very vague.
Like his Norman colleague, Guillaume Garot also fears that the use of the app be counter productive. Those who use it may feel protected. Respect for barrier gestures remains fundamental ”.
Laurence Maillart-Méhaignerie reminds that the French (especially the older ones) do not all have a smartphone to download the application, nor the same access to the Internet. So watch out for the tie break! In addition, human contact must remain essential during the search for contaminated people, to advise them, orient them…
Sarah El Haïry believes that this application should not become
the alpha and the omega of prevention. These are the barrier gestures, the treatments that will always take precedence
. A therefore moderate enthusiasm
also shared by Matthieu Orphelin. The contribution will be very modest. For this to work, 60% of French people would have to download this app ».
For or against, then?
Philippe Gosselin is there opposite
. Guillaume Garot and Matthieu Orphelin are on the same page. In Singapore, they were talking about an effective tool. But they are reversing now
, concludes Guillaume Garot.
Sarah El Haïry, however, says she is in favor of this app. It has the merit of existing. You have to use it …
. Laurence Maillart-Méhaignerie, meanwhile, is waiting parliamentary debate to form an opinion.
