NEW DELHI : After forcing the Centre to drop its controversial Social Media Communication Hub (SMCH) plan, Trinamool Congress MLA Mohua Moitra on Tuesday scored again with Supreme Court virtually telling the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) to accommodate her suggestions for its Social Media Agency (SMA).Though the court did not ask the UIDAI’s SMA proposal to be scrapped, it said the agency should consider her inputs to rid the proposal of snooping charges as the TMC leader has alleged in her petition.A bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud asked Moitra’s counsel A M Singhvi to hand over a long list of suggestions from the petitioner to attorney general K K Venugopal to help re-frame UIDAI’s proposed SMA to ensure there is no allegedly intruding and snooping into social media conversations through ‘listening tools’.After Singhvi handed over suggestions to the AG, the bench said in its order, “It is submitted by Venugopal that he will file an affidavit as a consequence of which, in all probability, the suggestions given by the counsel for petitioner are likely to be accommodated.” The SC listed Moitra’s petition for hearing next week.During the hearing on September 7, Justice Chandrachud had set the tone for the SC’s approach when he said, “The proposal talks of listening to online conversations which is directly contrary to what UIDAI argued while seeking validation of Aadhaar before the constitution bench.”The UIDAI counsel had attempted to reassure the SC by saying the original request for proposal (RFP) had been changed and the SMA would only tap one lakh social conversations a month for the purpose of gauging sentiments of social media users and denied the petitioner’s allegation that SMA would create a 360 degree profile of social media users.On August 3, Venugopal informed the court about withdrawal of SMCH for a complete review of the policy to persuade the SC to dispose of Moitra’s petition challenging the proposal. On August 2, Moitra through advocate Mohammed Nizam Pasha filed another petition challenging UIDAI’s SMA on grounds identical to the ones she had taken to question the validity of SMCH.Moitra’s petition said, “A perusal of the ‘scope of work’ in the impugned RFP includes deploying a ‘social listening tool’ to ‘track and monitor online conversations relating to Aadhaar’. Further, the selected Social Media Agency is to identify and ‘neutralise negative sentiments’ related to Aadhaar.” The SC had reserved verdict on validity of Aadhaar, created by the UIDAI, on May 10.Singhvi said, “Despite the fact that the constitutional validity of the entire Aadhaar scheme is under challenge and its fate is to be decided by the Supreme Court, the UIDAI has issued RFP to identify ‘top detractors’ and ‘neutralise negative sentiments’ in relation to Aadhaar. It is therefore clear that UIDAI and the Centre have no respect or regard for the proceedings before the SC.
