Recently, it is thought that social movements have been negatively affected by the developments in artificial intelligence and surveillance technologies. In the study, social movements are evaluated from a critical position, different from the mainstream. This critical approach is not subject-oriented but focused on social developments and processes. It is argued that artificial intelligence and surveillance technologies have a determining, dominating and monotonizing effect in the qualitative change and transformation processes that social movements have entered. It is thought that company monopolies in related fields are supportive of this change and transformation. It is claimed that social control practices are intensifying because of this transformation process that social movements have entered. Thus, it is argued that the participants of social movements are made passive. The work is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the discussion of the conceptual framework, and the second part focuses on the analysis process. As a method, it was considered proper to subject the selected news texts to content analysis in the light of the determined keywords.
