This is Dystopian AF!

For those who don't Aadhar is a govt ID card for its citizens that doesn't do shit, is unsecured like shit, and doesn't even prove anything about you in legal terms.

This article is so bad, take it with a pinch of salt. There's a very long history of bogus announcements around Aadhaar, governments (remember it was introduced by Congress in the name of anti-corruption) pushing it down the throat of people despite Supreme Court rulings that it cannot be compulsory.

But in India maybe more than in most places, so many people seem to believe this is a good thing to comply to such stupid use of the worst technologies, as long as the can showcase their shiny latest smartphones.

True for all Indian media.

True

EXTREMELY TRUE. Fuckers literally worship the government at this point.
