Aadhaar data leak: Edward Snowden backs India reporter
Aadhaar data leak: Edward Snowden backs reporter of The Tribune: Wikileaks-fame whistleblower Edward Snowden has also reacted to the Tribune reporter’s investigative report on Aadhaar data leak.
Snowden in his first Aadhaar related tweet wrote, “It is the natural tendency of government to desire perfect records of private lives. History shows that no matter the laws, the result is abuse.”
He also commented that the Tribune reporter Rachna Khaira deserved to be rewarded for her news report instead of being slapped a police case. -PTC NewsThe journalists exposing the #Aadhaar breach deserve an award, not an investigation. If the government were truly concerned for justice, they would be reforming the policies that destroyed the privacy of a billion Indians. Want to arrest those responsible? They are called @UIDAI. https://t.co/xyewbK2WO2 — Edward Snowden (@Snowden) January 8, 2018
