It's funny you say that given I live in an EU country (which is not Hungary) and I strongly disagree with this sentiment.

Like I said, if the app is based on the protocol so it's not even possible in that case.

Most countries followed this spec and combatting the virus has more priority in every country in the EU. Not at all handling out fines.

Although France is not implementing the standard protocol. They are very protective of citizens data ( not even a city can access it).
