Majority Indian citizen understand this but this is a risk they are willing to take against the pervasive corruption (almost 60 years). Whether it actually leads to reduction in corruption is of course debatable.

- JumpCrisscross 1y ago> Giving the government more unchecked power reduces corruption? It's a weirdly-effective pitch! ("Drain the swamp.") The stupidity of it is compounded by the fact that it's often not about giving the government unchecked power, but a subset of the powerful unchecked power.
- crop_rotation 1y agoDo you honestly believe that ? Almost all government adjacent people (politicians/ civil servants) own land holdings way beyond their means. Everyone knows that everywhere. If the government wants to crack down on corruption there is extreme low hanging fruit that doesn't require big brother watching you.

- sangeeth96 1y agoNot sure from where you’re drawing out that conclusion from, esp with the “60 years” point which is a timeline where none of this tech existed. Majority of the population I’d think is grossly uneducated on aspects of privacy and security in the digital realm.
