Norway's data inspectorate has banned the use of public health app Smittestopp to control the spread of COVID-19 over data protection concerns

I just wanted to post it’s own topic for this, but since it’s so relevant, I’ll just post it here:
Germany has released its coronavirus warning app today. It does not save data in any central location and it is open source.

Some context:

Amnesty calls out countries with 'most dangerous' contact tracing apps

Norway, Bahrain, and Kuwait are amongst the "most dangerous" for privacy in their deployment of COVID-19 contact tracing apps, as they track their citizens' locations on a live or near real-time basis. These apps adopt an "invasive centralised approach" and pose a "great threat to privacy", according to an Amnesty International study.

[...]

Norway, though, just pulled its Smittestopp app, deleting all data collected via the contact tracing app and suspending further use of it. The country's Data Protection Authority had ruled that the app disproportionately intruded users' privacy.

[...]

In Amnesty's analysis, Qatar's contact tracing app contained a security vulnerability that it said exposed personal details of more than one million people, enabling hackers to access data such national ID and users' designated quarantine locations. The app also was made mandatory since May 22.

The security vulnerability was fixed, said Amnesty, after it informed the authorities about it in end-May.

The study also noted that Bahrain's app was linked to a national television show that offered prizes to individuals who stayed at home during Ramadan. Using contact details gathered through the app, phone numbers were randomly selected and called live on air to check if the app users were at home. Those who were won a prize. Authorities also published online personal data of suspected COVID-19 cases, including their nationality, age, and travel history.

Is it just my reading, or is the title a bit baity? Title made me think that they banned any app, but it's actually just a specific one. Big difference.
