Rs 50k Fine/damages/compensation awarded by Bombay High against a famous bank for insisting on Aadhaar. I'm Advocate in petition. Pls note: banks, mobile operators, schools, colleges, pvt company cannot ask for Aadhaar in lieu of section 57 Aadhaar Act being struck down.Else…
Experimented in Telangana. Exported via C-DAC Hyderabad to Bihar State Election Commission. The problem with e-voting is, it kills secret ballot. Anyone beside you can see whom you are voting for. This is a dangerous idea for elections.
🗳️ Bihar becomes the first state in India to introduce e-Voting via mobile app in municipal body elections & by-polls. Polling is underway in 6 Nagar Panchayats and 36 municipal bodies. e-Voting open till 1 PM; physical voting till 5 PM. #eVoting #BiharElections…
In Bihar, Is the Election Commission Revising the Electoral Rolls or Compiling an NRC? Important piece by @JagdeepChhokar that all political parties need to take note of Clearly there is a real danger of the mass disenfranchisement of voters. No prizes for guessing which kind…
I am waiting for all those idiots who said you give your biometrics for Visa, now give social media handles too. Link Aadhaar to Social Media and all your problems will go away /s
Visa applicants are required to list all social media usernames or handles of every platform they have used from the last 5 years on the DS-160 visa application form. Applicants certify that the information in their visa application is true and correct before they sign and…
A blackout. A fake drone crash. A malware hoax from 2016 reborn. During the India-Pakistan crisis, viral fear spread faster than facts—one WhatsApp forward at a time. Our latest story from @DecodeInternet is a ground report from Punjab and Kashmir boomlive.in/decode/india-p…
400+ police & paramilitary officers, searching 300 houses, seizing 32 vehicles, a gas cylinder and a Hukka is not called community contact, this is called an illegal cordon and search operation conducted by @hydcitypolice without any search warrant.
Cordon searches are a abuse of policing power in Hyderabad, this is in Vinayak nagar in Malkajgiri. Seen in the video, the DCP of Malkajgiri P.V.Padmaja, IPS rachakondapolice.telangana.gov.in/know-your-poli…

Under capitalism, work spaces become inevitably toxic. As people are made to compete with each other, the resulting anxiety is the steroid needed to keep staff "productive". Anxiety is not an accidental byproduct. It is an essential lubricant in capitalist production.
The longer I work in medicine, the more convinced I am that anxiety and depression can be a just response in a deeply unjust world.
I am glad @KTRBRS is claiming his fundamental right to privacy. But this is a luxury he exercises while people in Telangana are actively denied this with all the surveillance in Hyderabad. Hyderabad continues to remain the most surveiled city in the world.
#Hyderabad---- #KTR declines #ACB’s demand to submit mobile phone in Formula E case, cites Privacy Rights @BRSparty working president @KTRBRS has declined to hand over his mobile phone and personal electronic devices to the @TelanganaACB, citing constitutional rights and…
Experimented with massive failures in Andhra Pradesh now Facial Recognition rather authentication will be made mandatory.
Pregnant women must now submit to facial scans, children to “liveliness detection”. Just to get take home ration. The union govt continues making access to rights more and more complex. It’s committed in making people cross all kinds of hurdles just to get food for survival.
Congress is soft BJP in Telangana.
#Hyderabad--- Big push for #CowProtection in #Telangana! Chief Minister @revanth_anumula forms high-level committee to draft a comprehensive policy for #goshalas. The committee comprises: Sabyasachi Ghosh, Special Chief Secretary, Animal Husbandry Department. Shailaja…
Taxation, Policing, Privatisation of Control that is the purpose of Aadhaar
It can’t prove date of birth, it can’t get you a passport, it can’t save you from getting pushed out forcibly to Bangladesh. My high-school mark sheet did all three, without any digilocker mumbo-jumbo. What is Aadhaar good for then? Genuine question.
DPIs are gonna solve climate change you all. Just wait until Nilekani pushes his plans to privatise power sector and make Adani charge you for Dynamic Pricing. The market wins, you lose.
Authorities in Tamil Nadu’s Krishnagiri district have uncovered at least six cases in which families of underage girls allegedly tampered with Aadhaar card details to hide child marriages and avoid legal consequences. siasat.com/tamil-nadu-fak…
Every government in power will demand the phones of opposition. That's the reality of our policing practices. ED went after Kavita's phones. Telangana Police went after BJP leaders phones. Now Congress is going after KTR's phones. Hide your phones ndtv.com/telangana-news…
MLAs raise the issue of a lake and a land parcel in western Hyderabad. Then, the map of the lake disappears… @Hindu_vs reports thehindu.com/news/national/…
Much of Iran's internet service is down as of 14:00 UTC (5:30pm local). Between 13:45-14:00 UTC traffic levels for the largest networks in Iran began plummeting.
Iran is shutting off internet not because of some censorship but because of cyberattacks from Israel. WhatsApp has been accused of sharing data to Israel.
Iran is going offline to prevent purported Israeli cyberattacks theverge.com/politics/68887…
