Justice Khanna in Supreme Court says if EVM source code is disclosed, it can be misused. Two big questions... 1 - What misuse can happen? 2 - How does anyone know it's not already been leaked, especially given @thenewsminute Conflict of Interest story of ECI technical expert.
@ShivamShankarS @thenewsminute From 2018 - when Aadhaar was being argued - the level of the discourse in the SC around issues of technology has been at a nadir. It’s more like a dinner-table family debate than sober judicial consideration of serious issues.
@gautambhatia88 @ShivamShankarS @thenewsminute How does it unfold and how would it end?
@gautambhatia88 @ShivamShankarS @thenewsminute They just realised that they lack technical reasoning to dismiss the petition. It will be delayed for want of technical assistance. Judgment dete to internationaly mitti paleed ho jaati.
@gautambhatia88 @ShivamShankarS @thenewsminute @VrindaBhandari and you surely recall a certain matter involving privacy policies
@gautambhatia88 @ShivamShankarS @thenewsminute Isn't the issue also on how the counter point (say in this case, on why it makes sense to make code open source) actually argued? Not sure if the petitioners even presented examples of critical codebase which are open source or brought in experts research on the subject.
@gautambhatia88 @ShivamShankarS @thenewsminute What is the way forward?
