This essay examines dataveillance, focusing on the state's use of personal data for both service delivery and surveillance. It argues that while some surveillance is justified, governments often misuse data for control and repression, amplified by modern information technology and social media. The paper highlights key dangers, including wrong identification, profiling, and social inequality, using India's Aadhaar system as a case study. Ultimately, it concludes that unchecked dataveillance threatens individual privacy, civil liberties, and democratic principles.
