Abstract
Digital sovereignty refers to the control a nation exercises over its digital space, crucial for protecting its interests in an interconnected world. An example of this is China’s Great Firewall, which represents the shift from physical to digital borders. The absence of physical boundaries in cyberspace presents unique challenges for states attempting to regulate data flow and safeguard their digital ecosystems. This concept highlights the need for countries to assert their right to govern online content and infrastructure, ensuring security and compliance with national laws. Furthermore, the influence of big tech companies has significant geopolitical implications. These companies, through their dominance of digital platforms and data infrastructure, can shape public discourse, influence political outcomes, and alter socioeconomic dynamics on a global scale. Their power complicates the landscape of digital sovereignty, underscoring the need for comprehensive governance frameworks that balance innovation with the protection of both national and global digital integrity.
