Augsburg (dpa / lby) - The Federal Data Protection Officer Ulrich Kelber strictly rejects monitoring of the 15-kilometer rule in pandemic hotspots using cell phone monitoring.

The “Augsburger Allgemeine” (Tuesday) he said: “GPS data cannot even distinguish between the underground car park and the fourth floor in a house.

GPS does not work indoors. "

Even a radio cell query does not even reliably show in which street a person has been.

'So what's that supposed to be?

That is no solution."

The President of the Community Assembly, Uwe Brandl, had previously told Bayerischer Rundfunk: “Today we can read movement profiles from cell phones and in this way determine very accurately where people are.

We just have to decide now which is more important, health protection or data protection. "

Kelber drew a comparison with the Corona warning app.

This is also unsuitable for monitoring the 15-kilometer rule.

In France, for example, the app only found two million users and failed.

"Acceptance would drop suddenly and resources and time would be wasted," emphasized Kelber.
