Aadhaar isn’t progress – it’s dystopian and dangerous
Who has power to abuse in unique identification system (aadhaar) - individual or state? State.<p>Where does the state in questions stand in corruption ratings, human development index ? very low.<p>(Looking up in internet) Latest use of aadhar seems to be in mobile internet via Jio telecom - they&#x27;ve used aadhar as identification. How is this not dystopian ? with most of country relying on mobile internet alone and state knowing their entire web activity - how is not dystopian?<p>Going by a similar analogy - Should a US citizen use SSN to get a home-worker-robot from a private company like (Google,SpaceX) to help with all daily chores ? BIG NO<p>India has also been known for its infamous caste society (read prejudice) for few millenia - will unique identification help eradicate or increase the problem further ? can anybody explain which applies here and how ?<p>Although I am not against having an unique ID for citizens in a country. Such systems will become easy tools for few powerful. We so often get rants in HN about facebook(and others) abusing privacy (listening to audio, tracking most of our web browsing).<p>How is with aadhar and facts above help prevent a state or private-company or mix-of-both-them not become big brother ?<p>edit: removed a sentence which got repeated.
