A thread on all the #Aadhaar data leaks from Andhra Pradesh. The first leak I reported about AP was part of my report on why leaks are happening. The AP government published details of 2 crore residents Aadhaar, bank account numbers, phone numbers as MS Access databases online
Another one part of the same report was AP NREGA website publishing details of another 1,12,99,803 residents #Aadhaar numbers and bank account details.
This NREGA #Aadhaar data leaked again from a different portal. Turns out everyone has everyone's data at multiple databases.
Andhra Pradesh leaked #Aadhaar of every school student, their claim is to stop school dropouts. This data is shared with Microsoft which boosts itself for building an AI thewire.in/politics/aadha…
Andhra Pradesh carried out a huge #Aadhaar based survey and geotagged every resident and the family details by doing ekYC. All of this data was published. You can micro analyse voters in Andhra Pradesh, just using family details, house location, voter lists, living conditions
Andhra Pradesh built a search portal to search anyone's information using #Aadhaar. This portal was again publicly accessible to anyone. That search portal which everyone says doesn't exists are all over the place.
Andhra Pradesh also published every pregnant women's #Aadhaar details along with her caste details, medical profile and expected date of delivery.
AP Govt tracks medicines purchased inside government hospitals and generic pharmacies with the phone number of the buyer. They track more information than just your #Aadhaar data. huffingtonpost.in/2018/06/17/and…
Every resident's property tax, water bills, advertisement tax details along with #Aadhaar numbers, mobile number, GPS lat, long, who lives there and electoral ward you belong to. All of this data is stored with a NGO started by @NandanNilekani They knew the data was leaky in 2015
Govt officials of Andhra Pradesh were so great, they leaked their own colleagues #Aadhaar data and salary structures.
Even swachh bharat portals were leaking this digital shit #Aadhaar
Andhra Pradesh published details of GPS location, Caste, Religion, Occupation, Bank Account details along with #Aadhaar numbers of 50 lakhs people who build new houses huffingtonpost.in/2018/04/25/aad…
Andhra Pradesh has made #Aadhaar mandatory for everything and they claim they need all of this data for real-time governance. Something which @UIDAI Chairman (part-time) J SatyaNarayana advised. Surveillance has a new name - real-time governance.
All these leaks and many more because of @ncbn's dream portal CM Dashboard core.ap.gov.in/CMDashBoard/In…
Andhra Pradesh wants to link all of this data using #Aadhaar to build 360 profiles of every citizen. They call it People Hub, part of their real-time surveillance Operating System called E-Pragati huffingtonpost.in/2018/07/23/how…
Andhra Pradesh publishes #Aadhaar everywhere from electricity bills to even in auto-rickshaws.
Andhra Pradesh is true digital nightmare, all thanks to #Aadhaar.

Short Thread on #Aadhaar Voter ID linking idea, where it comes from and why you should care about it seriously. Proposal to link Aadhaar was pushed by Nilekani to ECI. This was executed by ECI in 2014 by terming it National Electoral Roll Purification - Authentication Programme.
The first pilot of this exercise of linking Voter ID with Aadhaar was carried out in Nizamabad and Hyderabad districts in Nov 2014 by IAS official Ahmed Babu. Babu claimed this excercise helped remove duplicate voters and recommend to ECI. ECI made it a national programme in 2015
Supreme Court which has ordered Aadhaar to be only used for subsidies halted this exercise in Aug 2015. By then Chief Electoral Officer of AP & Telangana deleted 40 lakh voters in Telangana and another 25 Lakhs in AP. ECI linked Aadhaar with Voter ID without informing the voters

We are iSPIRT and we build large IT databases like Aadhaar which can be used for both Surveillance & Capitalism. Then we make Govt & orgs like UNDP export this model to other countries. Also some of us work for Nilekani Philanthropies that build DIVOC, which is part of Co-Win. ImageImageImageImage
We are Setu and we consume the Open APIs of these large databases that iSPIRT builds, our co-founders were volunteers with iSPIRT before, now its our turn to make money with Open APIs. There is no conflict, just innovation. Capitalism works. Image

Short thread for lawyers & others who work on criminal justice system. The e-courts committee has shared a draft with vision for phase 3 of e-courts project. The draft was made by representative from Agami, Vidhi Legal Centre and Daksh.
cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s388ef51f0bf91…
There is a fundamental problem I have with the committee's vision. They propose Open-APIs to share data between all organizations of criminal justice system. At heart of this system is Inter-operable Criminal Justice System (ICJS). Which will integrate courts, prisons, police. Image
ICJS as being said will give one a 360 degree overview of criminals in the criminal justice system. But it extends beyond criminals as the MHA wants to make amendments to Identification of Prisoners Act to included pretty much everyone into this system. ICJS is housed inside MHA

Thread on origins of bio-metrics in banking and subsidy delivery with Electronic Banking System in Andhra Pradesh in 2006. This is about the AP smart card project. This is the true origin of biometrics with #Aadhaar & Direct Benefit Transfer System.
web.archive.org/web/2007120819…
The idea around DBT primarily comes with the whole Financial Inclusion Initiatives being promoted by government. But the usage of bio-metrics though happened with this smart card project in Andhra Pradesh. The project was a pilot which & it identified few cores areas.
Since the pilot was for NREGA work payments, identification of work payments was required. So it all centered around identity. Biometrics with smart cards was decided to be used. Reason for this according to me is the already existing SCOSTA card standard scosta.gov.in

A short thread about this delhi based legal think tank which is everywhere proposing laws and committees. Some facts on record with govt documents as evidence. thread becase they helped formulate a data sharing protocol for @SetuAarogya
I first heard about them during the #Aadhaar case when its founder @Arghya_justify was involved in defending govt's stance that Indians don't need a fundamental right to privacy. His stance during the hearing was privacy is part of article 21, so one doesn't need it to elevate it
During hearings in SC, government constitutes Sri Krishna committee for making a data protection law because @Vidhi_India has suggested it @rsprasad. The govt used this as an argument to persuade the court to not grant fundamental right to privacy saying there will be a data law.
