The question is, why should you care? You should care because:
- This is the first building block of the National Health Stack which will overhaul the health infra in the country. It& #39;s a huge problem if it& #39;s shrouded in secrecy and people aren& #39;t allowed https://www.medianama.com/2020/04/223-aarogya-setu-upcoming-features/">https://www.medianama.com/2020/04/2...

to know which govt and pvt entities are involved in the process.
- There are contradictions between the Protocol and the Privacy Policy, many of which I have highlighted repeatedly over the last few months. So which one will reign? https://www.medianama.com/2020/05/223-meity-aarogya-setu-data-access-sharing-protocol/">https://www.medianama.com/2020/05/2...

- The app does not have a sunset clause; only the Protocol does.
- Function creep is a major problem with the app. It now has an API for employers to monitor health status of their employees. https://www.medianama.com/2020/08/223-aarogya-setu-open-api-services/">https://www.medianama.com/2020/08/2...

- A number of govt and pvt entities have made the app mandatory for their employees, staff, students despite the absence of law. Such steps don& #39;t consider the fact that only 35% of the Indian population has smartphones. If we take the KaiOS owners into account, it& #39;s about 44-45%.
