Hakeem Anwar: The Dangers of Digital ID and School Surveillance
Digital ID expands globally while school surveillance systems monitor student behavior and normalize constant tracking
Introduction
Hakeem Anwar discusses the global expansion of digital ID systems and the growing integration of biometric identification into everyday services, emphasizing that digital ID is not limited to an app but is created when legal identity and biometrics are combined (often through banks, financial services, or government processes).
Nearly every country is developing some form of digital ID and moving towards even more centralized control. Anwar also highlights the emergence of surveillance frameworks in schools, where widespread device distribution has enabled continuous monitoring of students’ behaviour and communications.

In an era of digital surveillance, algorithmic bias, and growing censorship, privacy has never been more important. As centralized powers extend into every layer of our digital lives, those who value truth, freedom, and autonomy need tools they can trust. Above Phone delivers exactly that, and my core team relies on Above Phones and Above Books to run our operations securely.

This video featuring Hakeem Anwar is rich with insights, but we know time is limited. Below is a concise summary highlighting the key takeaways from our discussion for your convenience.
Digital ID systems are being developed in nearly every country worldwide. An extensive global analysis found that almost all nations are implementing some form of digital identification, with only a few remote or unstable regions remaining outside the system.
International institutions are driving adoption across both developed and developing nations. Organizations such as the World Bank and IMF are ensuring that even countries with major resource challenges prioritize citizen identification systems.
Digital ID is created by combining legal identity with biometric data. Once identification documents are linked with biometrics such as facial images or scans, a persistent digital identity is effectively established.
Financial institutions act as key collection points for biometric data. Banks and credit unions increasingly require identity verification that combines official ID with biometrics.
Governments can access and consolidate identity data from private institutions. Examples show that biometric and identity data collected by banks can be integrated into national digital ID systems.
Digital ID enables more precise and enforceable forms of surveillance. When biometric data is tied to legal identity, systems can confirm identity and this data will be more readily permitted in a court of law.
Centralized identity systems can be used for direct state control. Cases such as AI surveillance linked to conscription enforcement in Russia demonstrates how these systems can be used to act on individuals in real time.
Resistance requires limiting the sharing of biometric data where possible. Avoiding actions that require a combination of biometrics and legal identity is one of the few available safeguards against this system. Strategies include avoiding biometric scans, seeking alternative service providers, or asking to engage in non-biometric verification methods.
Surveillance systems are increasingly embedded within educational environments. Large-scale funding during the COVID period enabled widespread distribution of monitored devices to students.
Student activity is tracked both in school and at home. Monitoring software allows teachers and administrators to view screens, restrict activity, and even observe usage outside the classroom.
Private communications between students are being analyzed. Systems scan messages and social interactions for keywords, flagging behaviour related to violence, sexual content, or mental health.
Student data is categorized and stored across multiple systems. Platforms label students based on behavioural indicators, including suspected depression or risk profiles.
Security vulnerabilities expose sensitive student data. Instances have shown that monitoring systems can be accessed externally, revealing detailed behavioural records. A thousand companies provide tools that track and analyze student behaviour, increasing data exposure risks.
Continuous monitoring conditions children to accept surveillance as normal. Early exposure to constant observation normalizes the violation of privacy and reduces resistance to broader digital control systems.

From a hypothetical point of view , have those in power , thrown themselves off the monopoly board, without conscience or a mentality capability to realise the consequences , of what they bring upon themselves , not the monopoly board we play , a monopoly board built on the workings of how each and every country working economically and healthily for each individual country , have they pushed the self destruct button ?
The public sector which is built from the taxes which people pay , the taxes are made from the corporations within the private sector , the private sector was built to create jobs and skills in industries, fishing , agricultural , farming , steel , oil , cotton , manufacturing , building and media and arts and crafts , to save just a few , most of these industries have been sold off or decimated by the pretended elected ?
Oh yes, like our fishing industry was decimated by the unrealistic quotas which were introduced by the EU , our farming industry which is our secure and safe food production , is being told they will be hit with inheritance tax , a tax which inevitably mean , many farmers will have to sell their farms and lose their businesses , and the EU expect to have famines in the near future ?
Of course , we also have the car industry , were many small and medium sized companies lost their businesses through EU directives.
Pushing Climate change and electric cars , their are huge discounts on electric cars , what type of technology is input into these cars , can they be switched off , do they have the ability to track and survey ? What is the second hand value when the batteries give up ?
Not forgetting the Post Office debacle , the fraudulent computer system , which convicted innocent pay masters , many losing their businesses , many still awaiting compensation.
The British Parking Association parking fines is a huge drain on the resources of monies being taken out of the economy ?
People working in the private sector , have to pay for safety certificates to work in some industries , others have to pay for courses to continue in their qualified profession, and many private companies have to pay a service to gain customers from the public sector companies , all draining the resources of the private sector , and increasing the costs borne , while reducing the profits ?
In 2016 , a Labour Police Crime Commissioner decided to increase the living wage , one wonders how a Police Crime Commissioner could decide on the living wage , surely this should be decided on production , deciding to increase the living wage , when the production is low , can cause bankruptcy ?
In 2020 , during lockdown , 5G was being installed , no lockdown was introduced for those contractors ?
When lockdown was introduced in March 2020 , the majority of deaths happened in care homes , we now know , relatives were stopped from visiting and the wrong medication was used ?
On one occasion when I took my mother to hospital , the doctor in A & E said, we will give her anti-biotics and she will be home in a couple of days , the next day , when I went to visit , my mother was in a separate room , with " Nil by Mouth " poster on the door. There was a beaker of water next to my mother , I asked my mother , if she would like a drink , the answer my mother gave was , " Yes please. " I gave her three drinks , she had no difficulty swallowing or talking ? The consultant said , " I may get a phone call during the night ." I explained to the consultant , " I don't expect to get a phone call during the night , I was told my mother would be home within a couple of days , that is what I expect." To cut a long story short , I got my mother off that department . My daughter also had a worrying experience on the same department . Although I trust many doctors and nurses , there are a few who follow the guidelines of the WHO , which I am very wary of ?
The COVID experimental injections have caused many adverse reactions and deaths , meanwhile illegal immigrants have been allowed to enter our countries by invasion of the shores ?
Many councils are bankrupt ?
Not only are we losing our Fundamental Freedoms and parental rights are being violated , now our children are being monitored ?
