> Jio however will have a massive collection of Indians Biometric identities

Citation or shut up. I'm no fan of Aadhar but even a cursory look into it's authentication shows that it does not share this information with services. It only acts as a o-auth like service.

Are you stupid ? Because it strikes me that you are phenomenally so.

While Aadhar does not share biometric features, by being an authentication oracle, it makes it trivial for any massive organization like Jio to build their own second-party 'verified by Aadhar' databases which have even fewer legislative regulations (if that were at all possible).

So no, "we" will not "shut up".
