Comment: Does this  withdrawal mean that "caution" that needs to be exercised by public, will not be notified if there is a "possibility of misinterpretation".  Is this the MEIT policy? "Better Sorry than Safe". This withdrawal sends a signal to the entire bureacracy, please do not raise any red flags, in case there is a "possibility of misinterpretation". The govt. prefers that we take privacy, financial, social risks, to giving caution to public/citizens on how they could be duped,  because there is a possibility of misinterpretation!  Or is this a further misinterpretation?.

Now That Government Has Admitted to Security Issues with Aadhaar, We Should Demand Better Security https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNR0wx1BjZ0
Jun 3, 2022  The government had recently put out a press release warning citizens from sharing photocopies of their Aadhaar card, as it poses serious security risks. Now that the government is finally waking up and admitting to the risks and problems with Aadhaar, it is time the people demanded better security for their personal biometric data. Watch this week’s video as Sucheta Dalal explains in detail.
https://www.moneylife.in/article/now-that-the-government-has-admitted-to-security-issues-with-aadhaar-people-need-to-demand-better-security/67362.html  By the time UIDAI issued its well-warranted warning last week, the abuse of Aadhaar was already widespread. Banks had long stopped opening accounts with only Aadhaar identification. The extent of fraud in the much-touted Jandhan accounts, opened only with Aadhaar plus mobile, remains a well-kept secret except for occasional warnings about their use as ‘money mules’ in speeches by Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI’s) top brass.
 
There were many problems with the UIDAI’s withdrawn warning too. It asked people to avoid using public computers at internet café/kiosks to download e-Aadhaar. If used, to ensure that copies of e-Aadhaar are permanently deleted from that computer. Secondly, it said, do not to share Aadhaar with unlicensed private entities like hotels or cinemas
