Like many governments, the Norwegian government provided a contact tracing application to help in combating the COVID-19 pandemic at its outset. However, the application was widely criticized for enabling an unacceptable intrusion into its subjects' lives, leading to its discontinuation only four months into the pandemic. In this essay, we will take a closer look at what went wrong, attempt to gain a deeper understanding of the passionate nature of the conflict, and how both sides came to view the other as being either stupid, or evil, or both.

翻译：与许多国家政府一样,挪威政府提供了接触追踪应用程序,帮助从一开始就打击COVID-19流行病。 但是,该应用程序被广泛批评,因为它允许对患者的生活进行不可接受的侵扰,导致该流行病仅4个月就停止了。 在本论文中,我们将更仔细地审视出了什么问题,试图更深入地了解冲突的激情性质,以及双方如何将对方视为愚蠢或邪恶,或者两者兼而有之。
