Our Bodies Are Tracked and Classified by a Digital Chain

Digital Chains: Wearable Technology and the Surveillance Society

 

Every step you take, your heartbeat, and your sleep are digitally recorded. The health surveillance network that entered our lives through the planned pandemic was only the beginning. Today, wearable technologies are presented under the guise of health and personal empowerment, but they have transformed into control mechanisms that gradually erode our freedoms. The system, extending from insurance discounts to job opportunities and payment tools, can turn those who do not show “data compliance” into second-class individuals. The digital ownership of your body is now under joint control of the state and private sector, potentially restricting the boundaries of freedom.

 

Digital Slavery Instead of Health Monitoring

The Ministry of Health’s e-Government and HES code infrastructure, combined with biometric data collected from wearable devices, has shattered the last bastions of privacy. The most intimate information such as pulse, blood pressure, and sleep patterns is gathered in a central data pool. Under the name of “public benefit,” the individual’s consent to data collected by the state is more of a formality. In practice, there is no real right to opt out or refuse consent. Private insurance companies and employers use the data for premium discounts and employee performance evaluations. The formula “shared data = discount” quickly turned into “no sharing = penalty.” The commodification of health data means the erosion of individual autonomy.

 

Smartwatches: Digital Surveillance Under the Mask of Payment Convenience

Smartwatches, frequently seen in bank advertisements, do more than just monitor health; they are also used as payment tools. Although it is claimed that there is no need to carry a wallet and the risk of theft is reduced, behind this convenience are devices that constantly collect data and become part of the surveillance network. Even your payments turn into digital traces, serving the construction of the surveillance society (Big Brother), which is a key part of the global elites’ Great Reset plans. Under the mask of payment convenience, our freedoms are slowly being surrendered.

 

A World Where Algorithms Decide: Human Rights Under Threat

Biometric data is classified by machine learning algorithms as “high risk” or “low compliance.” The banking habit of credit scoring has extended to health data. Irregular sleep or decreasing step counts are automatically interpreted as signals of “performance decline.” Human resources software prioritizing algorithmic interpretation over doctors’ reports in hiring and promotion decisions has eroded individual voice and threatens human dignity. Law and legislation have proven insufficient to stop the digital surveillance chain.

 

Legal Gaps and the State’s Will to Surveillance

Although countries’ local Personal Data Protection Laws and Constitutions consider biometric data as special, doors have been opened to deep monitoring practices under the pretexts of “providing health services” and “public safety.” New data collection tools have exploited legal loopholes under emergency excuses. When individuals try to exercise their rights, they are directed to courts; however, the data has already been collected and used. The concept of explicit consent has become ineffective due to information asymmetry and high costs. The state’s will for surveillance has been legitimized with legal covers.

 

Social Pressure and the Integration of Cultural Codes with Surveillance

Structures such as ethnic communities and neighborhood solidarity in countries’ collective cultures have paved the way for surveillance mechanisms to be used as tools of social pressure. Health achievements shared on social media have turned into a “security awareness” mask that hides individual uniqueness. Those who do not comply are stigmatized as “irresponsible” and “risky” and excluded. Cultural codes have made the dystopian surveillance regime accepted by society with invisible covers. Individual freedoms have eroded under the double clamp of social norms and digital surveillance.

 

Breaking the Digital Surveillance Chain on the Digital Body Map

The way to overcome this danger is through collective struggle and rights advocacy; the fight against body data surveillance is not only legal but also a social responsibility. Citizen initiatives should remind people of their rights under Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK), spreading data request and deletion applications. Professional organizations and unions should establish collective consent platforms against mandatory health monitoring at workplaces. Academia and civil society organizations should document the psychosocial effects of biometric surveillance with field data to raise public awareness.

While the digitizing body map is shaped by the complex and secret operations of global powers’ Great Reset plans, the process threatens individual freedoms and digital ownership networks enslave our bodies. The transformation of wearable technologies, presented as technological marvels, into surveillance tools leads to the erosion of freedoms and places us at a critical crossroads for liberty.

Our duty is to unravel the complex networks, act with conscious awareness, and break the digital surveillance chain. The digitization of our bodies is not just a technological development but a battleground that will determine the future of humanity and society. It seems clear that if conscious awareness does not spread, we may lose digital freedom.
