Linking Aadhaar to social media: SC to hear Facebook plea

The question is if linking social media to Aadhaar is breach of privacy. Upholding Aadhaar earlier, the SC had disallowed its use by private firms, stating it was contrary to right to privacy

New Delhi:
Underscoring the need to strike a balance between privacy and security, the Supreme Court Tuesday agreed to hear a plea by Facebook to transfer to the apex court four petitions filed in the High Courts of Madras, Bombay and Madhya Pradesh seeking the “linking of Aadhaar information to social media accounts”.

A Supreme Court bench comprising Justices Deepak Gupta and Aniruddha Bose also issued notices to the Centre, the Tamil Nadu government and other social media platforms including Facebook, Google, Twitter and YouTube.

The court, however, refused to stay the proceedings before the Madras HC where two PILs are pending but restrained the HC from passing any final order in the matters.

Appearing for the TN government, Attorney General K K Venugopal said the Madras HC had already heard the matter 18 times and it should be allowed to take a final view. Opposing the transfer plea, he contended that this was being sought as the HC had agreed to seek expert opinion about how to trace the originator of a message on WhatsApp.
