MIT Technology Review, a magazine owned by the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has downgraded India’s contact trace app Aarogya Setu. In an in-house review, it downgraded the application’s rating to one star out of five. Researchers had earlier given it 2 out of 5. The app lost more points on the parameters of “data minimisation” which means the app is collecting more data than needed for the app to work.
