Mishi Choudhary, Founder @sflcin spoke with The Economic Times about the #privacy concerns related to the #APAAR ID.

She highlighted that APAAR ID enrollment is being enforced through "arm-twisting tactics" despite the Ministry Of Education stating it is voluntary.

> "[...] we did it because who has the time to argue?"

Most 'voluntary' measures by the government are voluntary only on paper. It is through the last-mile implementation that they become mandatory.

Those who might want to object to such 'voluntary' measures would have to take time out of their workday - a non-starter for most of us.

If the process of basic #civic oversight itself is the punishment, can we truly claim to be a #free #society?
