AG Assures 5-ft Wide Wall to Secure Aadhaar Data, Twitter Explodes

The Attorney General was attempting to prove that Aaadhaar data REALLY is safe!

The Aadhaar data is safe because it remains securely behind a complex with five feet thick and 13 feet tall walls, said Attorney General KK Venugopal reportedly on the first day of the Union government's arguments in the final Aadhaar hearing. According to a Business Standard report, the AG said this in an attempt to prove that Aaadhaar data is safe before a five judge constitutional bench of the Supreme Court.

Twitterverse, obviously, could not keep it together and reactions ranging from downright hilarious to that of absolute shock ensued.

Had Facebook secured the user data in a building that has 10 ft thick walls, like Indian Govt is doing for Aadhaar, data breach by Cambridge Analytica wouldn't had happened.

Stupid Facebook.

Is this like the dude who said 'what will happen to cloud storage when it rains?'

In Supreme Court today:
Govt:
Will demonstrate safety precautions of Aadhaar. Our data centre has walls that are 13 feet high, 5 feet wide.

Speechless. #Aadhaar

How about 56 inch! That would have been enough. :)
