Not an ounce of word on the file related to the app, communications bw private players and Ministry, file notings, etc. Nothing is being put on record apart from these unsigned press releases!
But yeah, go to their website & see "Why one should use @SetuAarogya"

Unsigned white paper press releases is how you respond. You are just doing more damage. https://twitter.com/SetuAarogya/status/1321442970424410112
So now I have an answer to this issue raised in last May https://github.com/nic-delhi/AarogyaSetu_Android/issues/8

All those claims of anonymization of #AarogyaSetuApp data before they are being shared are bullshit. There is no law/rules for the app, @Vidhi_India made a protocol that never got implemented.

Ankhi Das, the Facebook India executive at the center of a storm about hate speech and links to the ruling BJP, has resigned.
She has been replaced, temporarily, by Shivnath Thukral, who worked on behalf of the BJP in 2014 elections.

RT @internetfreedom
We also note with concern that the text of this provision has not been made available on the official websites of the Govt of Kerala and neither has it been put towards any public consultation. This is deviating from the norm of transparency and pre-legislative consultation.
RT @internetfreedom
The introduction of amended provision in question is concerning because of its similarity to the unconstitutional S.66A as the provisions suffers from a similar vice of being void for vagueness.
RT @internetfreedom
Thus, we recommended that
1. Introduction of any such amendment be done with full and complete transparency.
2. A public consultation process be followed.
3. Move away from criminalisation of online speech except under certain circumstances as contained in the ICCPR.
