The controversy throws up four interesting facets, which are relevant for the Supreme Court to consider. The first, that data privacy can be breached on a large scale and there is nothing like fool proof protection of data. The second, that even a large-scale breach may never be disclosed to the persons whose data has been wrongfully taken. The third, that even after the breach has taken place, it is difficult to police the breach and its consequences especially if it has passed on to multiple people, and fourth, that the data, when harvested, can influence outcomes on a large scale, including elections, without the affected persons even being aware about it.
