Did you mean "digital contact tracing" there? Contact tracing itself is a necessary tool when dealing with a pandemic and I really do not see anybody arguing against that. Of course there's a lot of trade-offs and questions like voluntary/mandatory, usage restrictions, etc. but I feel like decentralized vs. centralized debate was a good first discussion to have in a democracy.

Humanity got right we are today (still alive and growing) without digital contact tracing. So, no, this is not a "necessary" tool. I wish the link I posted above was available in English too, because they analyzed a few scenario that shows how digital contact tracing can be exploited by anyone, not just techies people. I would rather be a partisan of investing our money in technologies that heal and strengthen our bodies. At least regenerating and healing the body could help with many other diseases.
