Citizens don't have absolute right over their bodies: Govt of India

Between this biometric ID system (Aaadhaar) and demonetization, India is a great example of how quickly utopian tech ideas that appeal to corporations become tools of government authoritarianism.

It's the same in the US

And in any European country that utilizes fingerprinting, etc...
