I’d say implementation issues shouldn’t influence our decision on whether an identity credential is fundamentally required or not for the country.

I don't see any "oppression" here. All governments have personal data on its citizens. This is a fact of life. So far, the Aadhar data has been used for the benefit of society (like targeted assistance to people who deserve aid during Covid rather than doing "spray and pray")

He chooses not to use it on privacy grounds. But, this is a common problem with most national identity databases tbh. Its more likely a political decision than a privacy one.

Firefox is the only browser that has reliable ad-blocking. Chrome allows ads by default because you know, it's from Google. Edge is no better the last I used it. Websites are simply faster on Firefox. But I guess people like me are fast becoming a minority.

I don’t understand. By your logic, if Russia had defeated Ukraine, then it would’ve been fair and normal?

Islanders had their land taken from them and still don’t have it (just like natives). How is this different from Russia taking Ukraine’s land?

Of course it’s impossible to undo evils of the past. I’m talking about the present though. The islanders shouldn’t be invaded for “power projection” because they are human beings too. It’s pretty much the same thing Russia is doing.
