China is setting a dangerous precedent for humanity as a whole.

Not caring about what's happening in China is not caring about humanity at all.

Whats different from the attrocities committed by organised terror like ISIS when compared to the atrocities committed by Chinese government towards Tibetians, Muslims, Prisoners etc. ?

For all the boasting about Privacy, Humanity by Apple it gives away data to Chinese govt for someone to rot in their prison or worse death. So is the state of all other companies doing business with China.

Now that it's a super power, it's been flexing its power outside its borders. It aided in the genocide of Tamil population in Srilanka during final Elam war just to get to India at south. It has a military base in Myanmar & we all know what happened there.

Edit:Typo

Beware that Indian companies can hand over your data to Indian agencies anytime without any court order[0].

Apple was part of the PRISM program.

If their integrity on privacy is true, they why lie about the PRISM program? What assurance do we have that Apple isn't part of PRISM or similar program anymore.

Apple as a hardware company,privacy narrative has worked in its favour & yes the consumers as well; but seeing it as a saviour of our privacy is just naive.

That's because Skype is soon becoming the defacto VoIP for Indian govt communication & guess what's the authentication? Yup Aadhaar!

More over Azure is the cloud storage provider for all govt data moving forward.

So not only Billgates would support Aadhaar, NSA & every party benefiting out of privacy abuse would.

No,stating opinions based on factual information on the present Indian govt.

To western readers clicking on the above 'opindia' article, it is a right-wing media outlet like 'Breitbart'.

It is well known to propagate fake news in support of the ruling right wing political party.

Using cloudflare DNS over ISP is definetly better, but you definetly need VPN/ToR or both to stop govt snooping on your online activities.

When, a human such as Gandhi is worshipped especially in an era when factual history is plausible; his shortcomings would definitely be contended with.

There is no doubt that he's a tactician & along with great thinkers of that period paved way for the united republic of India; an unition of several civilizations made plausible by the common anger towards colonial British.

But is his shortcomings a worthy argument to defame him? One does for sure - 'Casteism'; when a certain group of people are subjugated to carry human feaces in their head & you call it a noble duty defined by your religion; that man - The Gandhi & anyone who endorses the inhuman activity deserves to be shamed.

Correct.Google reacted the same way as other companies did for PRISM.

But they didn't know that their data was also accessed via other means & they took action to prevent it.

You're correct. But in my opinion the innate californification of Apple & systemetic PR helping itself to project as saviour of privacy has prevented the privacy enthusiasts from putting Apple through same rigor as we do for Google, Facebook.

You're correct. But I feel that the innate californification of Apple along with systemetic PR showing Apple to be saviour of privacy is stopping privacy enthusiasts from putting Apple into same rigor as we do for Google, Facebook.

Their point of Aadhaar being secure is only based on the data being encrypted with RSA public-key cryptography. They are totally obvilious to other threat vectors.

Their specifications state that the vendor should ensure end-to-end encryption. Say vendor X uses a kyc API which follows the UIDAI guidelines to the point, there's nothing preventing the vendor from storing the biometrics on the device before sending it to the kyc.

Not to mention that the biometric can be bypassed with OTP SMS & anyone is cybersecurity knowns SMS aren't fool-proof.

India is culmination of different civilizations and hence the diversity. No matter how corrupt the previous governments were, they weren't a direct threat to the democracy like the current government is under the pretext of religion.

I'm sorry that this news isnt trending in HN.

The then govt run by widow of Rajiv probably yes.

China's investment in Pakistan, Srilanka, Myanmar is clearly aimed to impose strategic advantage over India.

Especially in Srilanka, apart from economic activities; they funded & trained Srilankan army to conduct one of the worst genocide on their ethnic tamil population in 4th elam war. Sadly neither the international community nor the Indian government did nothing to prevent it from happening on the contrary they even helped the then Srilankan government with their war along with China in a rare display of cooperation for worst crimes against humanity.

Dravidian languages - Tamil, Telugu , Malayalam, Kannada & sub Dravidian languages still spoken by tribes came into existence in advanced civilisations when still majority of the world where inside caves.
