Abstract
We appreciate Crutzen’s comments on our analysis of the technologic Tower of Babel, which analyzed the global functioning and interaction of COVID-19 contact tracing apps.
In his critique, Crutzen argued that it is not all about the law, but also about ethics. We agree with this proposition. Ethics and the principles of digital governance are essential to structure the digital world , especially during (and after) a pandemic.
Keywords: COVID-19; contact tracing; data protection; privacy; interoperability; global health; public health
