Do wishes come true? In the Twitter-verse they do!
Ever since the news of Aadhaar breach reached the interwebs, people have been tweeting their responses. Among the many reactions, Tweeple have been dedicatedly wishing for a Black Mirror episode on Aadhaar.
So, Netflix India decided to hear ‘em all and fulfilled the wish with a tweet on 4th January.
The tweet said “Please provide #Aadhaar details for more information” and featured a 19-second clip from one of its episodes from Season 4, titled Hang the DJ.
In this version of the clip, a hand-held device asks the character what he wants to know. The character asks, “Me and Amy, I need to know how long.” The device displays the message, “Link Aadhaar Card to Find Out.”
Clever, very Clever!
As soon as the tweet was posted, a number of responses applauding the move and thanking Netflix India began pouring in.
NETAflix?
Is the government paying attention or are they watching something else, asked some people on Twitter.

After this Black Mirror clip featuring Aadhaar, what we really need now is an Aadhaar episode featuring UIDAI, said one Twitter user.
