This is BS because getting a visa is a conscious choice, Aadhar is forced upon India's residents. You're attacking people for having an opinion that's contrary to yours.
About your other points - no one is denying the benefits of having a strong unique ID system that lets people interface with government services; the problem is that Aadhar has no safeguards for privacy - which you would've focused on had you bothered to read the article.
- aub3bhat 9y agoYou are the one full of bullshit because if you are okay with surrendering your biometrics to a foreign government (especially the country where Mozilla is based out of) you don't have any right to complain about your own country seeking similar access. The article is written by people with political agenda, Aadhar is million times better than SSN or other such systems. I am extremely well versed with Security & Privacy related to authentication & identification, and most comments/articles offer no concrete solutions. Biometrics are essential to establishing unique identity.
- adityab 9y agoI don't know what kind of world you live in, where you cannot believe that people can take a principled stand about a policy. Why can I not worry about my family's data being shared free-for-all by random startups that use their "Open API"? Not everything is about X team vs Y team.
- wetha 9y agoThe level of national discourse in India has reached such a low point that questioning or raising doubts about any of the government's policies/actions leads to one being labelled a traitor to the country. It is depressing to see such knee jerk reactions to healthy discussion, short on facts and long on emotions.

- shiven 9y agoWTF has Mozilla to do with any of this?
- aub3bhat 9y agoDid you even read the article? """ This opinion piece by Mozilla Executive Chairwoman Mitchell Baker and Mozilla community member Ankit Gadgil """
- dang 9y agoThis comment breaks the HN guidelines and some of your other comments ("You are the one full of bullshit") are breaking them even worse. We ban accounts that do this, and have already asked you not to. Please don't post like this again.
- aub3bhat 9y agoSorry, I can't seem to edit it to remove. But will keep this in mind in future. Best,
