| > you link anything to `thewire.in`, I would call it propaganda. So you would colour everything by a certain journal with the same brush, without even looking into the reported claims? In the cited case, the content in the link (and the claim for which they were cited) is easily verified from multiple sources: [1], [2], and [3]. Even when The Daily Mail reports something outrageous and easily verified I verify it, and The Daily Mail is a tabloid. > Hate the govt all you want, but the Aadhar as you know is started by previous govt. This is neither here nor there. The "previous govt." was four years ago. In these four years, the current govt. — who used to claim to be staunchly against Aadhaar back then — have turned tail and zealously forced people into registering for Aadhaar and linking it with their phones, bank accounts, and even made it mandatory for kids to attend school. "But four years ago, someone else started it!" is a pointless argument when the current party has far more than enough time to fix it, or even just acknowledge the flaws. > so any ideas on how to do that are more appreciated than playing blame game on HN. Criticism is not a "blame game", unless the criticised turns it around and blames someone without accepting or refuting the criticism. Entertaining and listening to criticism IS a good way to improve one's product, not stuffing one's fingers into one's ears and claiming your product is the best ever and "unhackable" and filing police complaints against your critics to silence them. ---- 1: https://www.livemint.com/Politics/hZGXG4q43ZeeTp2HH5QlaK/Aad... 2: https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/nation/uidai-responds-afte... 3: https://www.firstpost.com/india/uidai-files-fir-against-the-... |
