On a word with The Indian Express
I would like with a word with the person at @IndianExpress who thought adding this was a good idea. Oh, and the ‘X’ doesn’t seem to work for me, so it appears that the only way for me to finish reading was to key in a number. 
So, I risked violating my ‘duties’ as data principal (yes, our non-functioning data protection act has those) and put in 10 0s. It didn’t work. Neither did 9 0s and a 1. :P
Hopefully, this is a bug and not a feature. I also can’t say for sure that this happens consistently, but still thought it would be worthwhile documenting such dubious efforts.
