DeusThe times we live in. #LinkedIn asking for verifying your identity via Aadhar Card. #Privacy #India. Courtesy, a friend. @mastodonindians
Akshay | అక్షయ్@Deus @mastodonindians This extra ID verification shit exists only in US and India btw. In US, it is _any_ government ID. In India, only Aadhar.
And some fellow in Nairobi/Kenya is probably doing the verification of the uploaded file.
@Deus I totally missed the fact that it’s not Aadhar _authentication_ , meaning LinkedIn doesn’t speak with Aadhar’s systems. It’s Aadhar _verification_, meaning LinkedIn only checks if the uploaded PDF somehow fits in the Aadhar format.
Makes it even worse, doesn’t it.
