This research statement presents a roadmap for the ethical evaluation of contact tracing apps. Assuming the possible development of an effective and secure contact tracing app, this roadmap explores three ethical concerns—privacy, data monopolists and coercion- based on three scenarios. The first scenario envisions and critically evaluates an app that is built on the conceptualization of privacy as anonymity and a mere individual right rather than a social value. The second scenario sketches and critically discusses an app that adequately addresses privacy concerns but is facilitated by data monopolists such as Google and Apple. The final scenario discusses the coerced installation and use of a privacy-friendly, independently developed contact tracing app. The main worry is coercion through societal exclusion and limited societal participation. The statement concludes with three suggestions for designing an ethical contact tracing app and a research agenda.

接触者追踪应用程序：道德路线图


该研究声明提出了接触者追踪应用程序道德评估的路线图。假设可能开发出有效且安全的接触者追踪应用程序，该路线图基于三种场景探讨了三个道德问题——隐私、数据垄断者和胁迫。第一个场景设想并批判性地评估了一个基于隐私概念的应用程序，即匿名性和纯粹的个人权利而不是社会价值。第二种场景勾画并批判性地讨论了一款充分解决隐私问题但得到谷歌和苹果等数据垄断者推动的应用程序。最后一个场景讨论了强制安装和使用隐私友好、独立开发的接触者追踪应用程序。主要的担忧是通过社会排斥和有限的社会参与进行强制。该声明最后提出了设计道德接触者追踪应用程序和研究议程的三项建议。
