If there were no gatekeepers on this, how much contact tracing fraud and malware would there be?

These would be good problems to have because they'd mean the apps were successful in the first place! Problems are solvable if we have the chance to solve them.

How would they mean the apps were successful?

Why wouldn’t the outcome be that people didn’t use contact tracing apps because a bunch of them were scans and malware?
