Thank you for lying so brazenly. Wish could downvote you.
> Even worse, the government of India is selling access to this database to private companies to use and combine with other datasets as they wish. This would allow companies to have access to some of your most intimate details and create detailed profiles of you, in ways you can’t necessarily see or control.
Liar, the information they get is your name/dob/gender/adress-if-available because that's all the Aadhaar system stores. Which they would already have since you are signing up to be their customer - mobile company for example.
These are intimate details, or are you delusional? Btw, these are also public details in voter id list which are on the internet, and anyone can look at.
> The government can also share user data “in the interest of national security,” a term that remains dangerously undefined
Which country has been able to define the term "National Security"? And a district magistrate has to approve the request. This is true for all data, just that in Aadhaar law it's codified.
> There are little to no protections on how Aadhaar data is used, and certainly no meaningful user consent.
What data? For subsidies govt already knows who you are. If you don't want to share you name/gender/dob with a private compnay don't use Aadhaar to authenticate.
Why force your choice on me, which loves getting an activated mobile connection in 15 min. Or gets access to Mutual funds and Insurance since complaince cost got reduces from 1k Rs to 10 Rs.
> India can solve its problems by its own when it recognizes that beyond money, there are people who are willing to support its technology movement. Competant tech people have time and again come out against the architecture of the solution - the last to suffer for it was Kiran Jonnalgadda (jackerhack on twitter).
Oh, so it's all about self promotion for your consultancy in the guise of privacy. Hope you get more clicks, Kiran Jonnalgadda!
Good job Mozilla. You prove you are really delusional.
