This breaks the HN guideline against name-calling in arguments. Please edit that kind of thing, and bilious bits in general, out of your comments if you want to post here.

I can share the data with you. Actual Aadhar failure logs. Do you want them ? Give me an email.

These are not google search numbers, but via a publicly exposed API with no protection.

Seeing as it is that you have no faith in anyone but the UIDAI, I fail to see any point in disclosing anything further. The offer still stands though.

This is unacceptable here and if you post like this again, we will ban you. No matter how strongly you feel about a topic, you need to remain civil if you want to comment here.

So when you said "intimate details" you meant logs. Ok.

Btw, Aadhaar doesn't store for what you authenticating, or where you are authenticating. That's another lie you are using to fear monger.

But in the end it doesn't matter. 1.3B+ Indians see the benefit of it. And are using it everyday by doing millions of transaction.

Keep on fear mongering. It's not having any effect.

No I meant biometrics as well.
