Will Facebook need Aadhaar

card for new accounts

Aadhaar card is like an identity for

any Indian, which is mandatory.

The government of India took a

decision of linking Aadhaar cards

to various services in order to

maintain a record and prevent

theft. The supreme court of India

has given a deadline to link

Aadhaar to various services.

The deadline is 31st March 2018.

Facebook has more 200 million

users and India has the most

Facebook users in the US. There

are many fake accounts on this

worldwide famous social media

platform that makes it easy to hack

and track any person. Many cases

have been registers because of

cybercrime people do on

Facebook.

Now even the most famous and

widely used social media platform

wants their users to name their

Facebook profiles according to the

Aadhaar cards.

The prompt comes as optional for

the people who are already

members of Facebook. However,

for the ones who are new and are

making a new Facebook profile,

are asked to mention their names

as it is on their Aadhaar cards. It

says, “Using the name on your

Aadhaar card makes it easier for

friends to recognize you”.

It is said that Facebook does not

ask for the Aadhaar details but it

just asks to keep the name of the

account as it is on the Aadhaar

card.

Sometimes people who already

have an account on Facebook are

asked for their Aadhar card details

or a picture when it suspects

something fishy. If the Aadhar

details are provided the account in

unblocked or else it is being

blocked.

Why did Facebook take this

initiative?

This initiative is taken because of

the increasing number of fake

accounts that have been

generated by many fake users.

Despite the fact that the Facebook

incite can barely be viewed as a

remark of worries over security

since it isn’t requesting the

Aadhaar number, that is why it has

raised concerns given the reality of

obligatory utilization of Aadhaar for

different administrations has been

contradicted by a few people.

People have been feared by this

Aadhaar legacy that is going on

and they do not understand that

Facebook has another motive for

this. The motive is related to

security and cybercrimes.

Aadhaar card number was also

asked the customers of Amazon

by the customer service people in

order to track their shipping details.

They were asked for identity proof

and that was the Aadhaar card

number.

This step was taken because they

would want to investigate whether

the right person is authenticating

with the customer ID.

One of their spokespeople also

said that Aadhaar card is

omnipresent therefore they would

prefer that as a verification.

Without it, also, the process of

investigation continues, but with it,

the process reduces.

Information protection has turned

into an intriguing issue of

discourse in the nation, particularly

after such huge numbers of breaks

have become known particularly if

there should be an occurrence of

Aadhaar. The security of the

Aadhaar framework has been

brought into question a few times.

Several occurrences have

happened in the recent time. In

Jharkhand, Aadhaar details of

many citizens were made public

and in Punjab, many Aadhaar

details were published on a public

website. This information should

be kept confidential because it

includes names, Aadhaar

numbers, and bank account details

and also addresses.

Taking into consideration these

occurrences, everything that is

identified with Aadhaar turns into

an intriguing issue of discourse.

A month ago, keeping in mind the

end goal to secure advanced

exchanges and address

information security issues, the

legislature discharged a white

paper on the information

assurance structure.

According to the paper, a shade

approach towards information

assurance should be followed in

India, remembering the way that

individual security is a basic right

constrained by sensible limitations.

However, the expectations of

Facebook are different and they

want to pluck out all the fake

accounts that are created, which is

a major danger on the online

networking stage, given that it is

depending on Aadhaar which is as

of now involved in much debate

and is raising concerns.

Additionally, we have no idea

whether they are persuading users

of other countries with some

identification or particular

reference of their local and asking

them to utilize their genuine names

which bring up issues on why this

move in India alone and not

anywhere else.
