The TOI article by @rohanduaTOI needs it's own thread. What made it possible to change people's #Aadhaar number linked with ration cards again and again and again? The answer to that simple question will establish how @UIDAI is part of the problem. Let us begin. 👇
First Question:
1. If any database needs to be seeded with #Aadhaar number, does it require the holder's consent? Here is Sri A B Pandey @ceo_uidai saying explicitly "Consent is not required".

2. So what are the tools that @UIDAI built to facilitate the "Consent is not required" model in every seeded database. We now introduce DBT Seeding Viewer (aka) DSDV. This model is called Inorganic seeding. Notice "w/o beneficiary consent"

3. Who used these programmatic tools?
Surprise! DSDV is accessed and allowed by State officials from an explicitly authorized White List IP Address by none other than UIDAI.

4. So how is it possible that the UIDAI officials deny that "they are not the problem", when they built the tools using the "No consent" philosophy, gave it to the state officials to precisely do exactly what #Aadhaar was supposed to avoid?
Ans: Reporters have no clue.

5. The tech. awareness of the main stream reporters is why, they can get away with these statements. Now let us do some game theory.
Your SIM card vendor just switched the #Aadhaar number attached to your SIM card. Voila! Your SIM can be lost and then be cloned!

6. What if you cannot trace the 69 Aadhaar holders who siphoned off the ration, because they did not exist? Forgot about that biometric mix-up story, have you? I will bet 50% of these 69 holders can never be traced as they are *ghosts*.

7. So why do people like @stonedsufi insist that, it is not a problem with #Aadhaar?
Two reasons:
1. They simply don't know about these programs (DSDV, RASF)
2. Aadhaar has become too big for people to even comprehend what is going on.

8. This non-consensual linking w/o a notification using a known public number is deadly mistake. Seeding issues are so common that "editable" is the only way out.

9. And if "editable" is a feature because of this, then scams are only inevitable. The heart of the problem is this?
How do you distinguish a mistake (Wrong seeding) vs. genuine ghosts? You can't, unless the people complain. Haven't changed at all.

10. Even in Gujarat PDS Scam, people complained. But the press missed out the story of "Tera Software" fully. Remember they sold biometrics on USB Sticks of MLAs, MPs and Bank Chairmans.
I guess this is the beginning of end.
