By playing Hindutva politics, AAP is targetting Muslims!

The @AamAadmiParty is provoking violence in Delhi. Violence against Muslims. It needs to be said clearly and loudly.

It also needs to be countered strongly, says professor

An AAP spokesperson made allegations that even the Delhi Police has said are untrue!!!

He repeated the claim that the Bharatiya Janata Party and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh have now made folkloric: “If we cannot chant Jai Shri Ram in India, will it be chanted in Pakistan?”
He went on to claim that murder of Rinku Sharma in Delhi’s Mangol Puri area on February 10 had a communal motivation!!!

At his press conference, he said that the BJP was unable to protect Hindus in Delhi. “Hindus are not safe in Delhi under the rule of the BJP,” he asserted!!!
Delhi Police, not known for any sympathy for Muslims, made it clear that the death had its roots in a business rivalry and the people accused of killing Sharma were known to him!

The murder was a result of a fight at the birthday party of Sharma’s friend!

It was expected, in keeping with the reality of politics that BJP would leave no stone unturned to give the murder a communal colour & incite hatred & violence against Muslims.

The murdered young man was said to be a member of the Visha Hindu Parishad and the Bajrang Dal. BJP
BJP leaders promptly paid visits to Sharma’s family and condemned the silence of @AamAadmiParty leader @ArvindKejriwal and his organisation.

Hindutva groups organised a havan in his memory. The home of one of the accused was attacked and vandalised in the presence of the police!
In 2015 when Muslims were attacked in Trilokpuri in Delhi, we desperately called @AamAadmiParty leaders. One of them, who has since been expelled from party, said that it would not be prudent for the party to be seen sympathetic to Muslims. It would harm its electoral prospects!!
After AAP’s first election victory in Delhi in 2015, I got a call from the same AAP leader referred, asking me to encourage good people to join his party. He explained that AAP was full of RSS-minded people. In fact, he said that they were more than 33% of the total number!!!
India Against Corruption movement was driven by a lynch-mob mentality and was inherently pseudo-nationalistic!!

Giant tricolors tied on huge poles held by excited bike riders out to annihilate the demon of corruption were precursors to those who started brutalising Muslims!!!
Many of us instigated by the democratic urge to bring a change became part of IAC.

We did hope that with the extraordinary mandate that @AamAadmiParty was given, receiving widespread support from Muslims, it would tame its pseudo nationalist temptation.

That was not to be!!!
The AAP and @ArvindKejriwal hinted that the #ShaheenBagh protests were allowed to continue because of BJP!

They never visited Shaheen Bagh protests & never publically shared their cause!

Even after this distancing and slandering, the Muslims voted overwhelmingly for the party!

Recently, the @CNIL issued a decision regarding the GDPR compliance of an unknown French adtech company named "Vectaury". It may seem like small fry, but the decision has potential wide-ranging impacts for Google, the IAB framework, and today's adtech. It's thread time! 👇

It's all in French, but if you're up for it you can read:
• Their blog post (lacks the most interesting details):

• Their high-level legal decision: https://t.co/hwpiEvjodt
• The full notification: https://t.co/QQB7rfynha

I've read it so you needn't!

Vectaury was collecting geolocation data in order to create profiles (eg. people who often go to this or that type of shop) so as to power ad targeting. They operate through embedded SDKs and ad bidding, making them invisible to users.

The @CNIL notes that profiling based off of geolocation presents particular risks since it reveals people's movements and habits. As risky, the processing requires consent — this will be the heart of their assessment.

Interesting point: they justify the decision in part because of how many people COULD be targeted in this way (rather than how many have — though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.
