Linkability: Why Your Digital Life is Easily Correlated | Disruptive Technologies Podcast

How many pieces of your digital life are already tied together — and who’s watching?

I’m Nikodemus, welcome to the Disruptive Technologies Podcast. Today’s episode explores the second metric in the Sovereign Stack: Linkability — How Easily Can You Be Correlated?

We’ll break down how every login, purchase, app‑permission, and wallet transaction can become part of a single profile — giving power to those who can connect the dots. This isn’t about going underground. It’s about awareness. It’s about choosing when, how much, and why you let systems link your digital identity.

We’ll look at five layers:
1. Value (money & transactions)
2. Identity (logins & accounts)
3. Compute & Communication (metadata & messaging)
4. Applications (apps, permissions, tracking)
5. Governance (laws, systems, transparency)

I’ll also give you practical actions you can take this week to reduce your linkability — audit your permissions, compartmentalize your identifiers, rotate your ad IDs, try a federated tool or two.
