We call upon other organizations and members of civil society around the world to lend their names and support to this letter. To read the letter and add yourself as a signatory, visit sflc.in/open-letter-me…

Today, the Government introduced the Aadhaar and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2018 in Lok Sabha, which proposes to amend the Aadhaar Act, The Telegraph Act and the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. A copy of the Bill, can be accessed here - sflc.in/aadhaar-and-ot… #Aadhaar
The Bill seeks to bring amendments to the Telegraph Act and the Prevention of Money Laundering Act to enable voluntary seeding of Aadhaar details with phone connections and bank accounts. #Aadhaar
The Supreme Court in its Aadhaar judgment had struck down that part of Sec. 57 of the Aadhaar Act which enabled private entities to use authentication services calling it unconstitutional. The court held that this enabled commercial exploitation of biometric and demographic data.

Finally in position of Jacob Zuma’s affidavit to the Zondo commission.
Do you know the SARS rogue unit setup by Paraffin Gordhan its members are former apartheid spies. Van Loggerenberg, Johan De Waal, Charl Fourie, Andries "Skolie" van Rensburg & Hendrick Lombard & yes Jacob Zuma had his own rogue intelligence operatives & they are being purged.
Jacob Zuma setup up his own parallel intelligence because he never fully trusted Paraffin Gordhan as to how did he know those guys were intelligence operatives unless the UDF cabal was used to infiltrate the ANC.

Morning campers! I’ll be live-tweeting from the European Court of Justice today about @Google’s “Right to be Forgotten” hearing.

What’s the main point? Should Europe (or France’s #privacy regulator) be able to apply its rules over the internet worldwide.

A recap:
La Vanguardia, a Spanish newspaper, published records in the late 1990s detailing the debt delinquencies of Mario Costeja.

About a decade later, Costeja sued, saying that the publication breached his right to privacy.
After a lengthy legal dispute, the case was referred to the ECJ which, in 2014, ruled that individuals had the right to ask that search engines like @Google remove links (but not the underlying webpages) from search results

The EC website publishes a list of registered voters and their personal details including gender and voter ID, both of which are considered sensitive personal information. How do we balance: Personal #privacy and Public accountability bit.ly/2ALpQTY @alokpi @pandayjyoti
The ambiguity extends to other public databases such as land records, list of MGNREGA beneficiaries, First Information Reports, and court records, which are currently not in conformance with the draft #privacy bill by Justice Srikrishna Committee
Political data analyst @ShivamShankarS on how electoral roll can be used for micro targeting: “From the electoral roll, demographic #data of the constituencies can be deduced and used for targeted campaigns in elections via social media.”

Letter from Birmingham Jail was written in response to "A Call for Unity", an open letter published by white Alabama clergymen.
They called the civil rights efforts of 1963 "unwise and untimely".
They called on black protestors to leave the streets and take their struggle to the courts (as if they couldn't and weren't doing both)
