| Popis: | One reason for the Internet's success is that its architecture was not an outcome of politics. So it's important that Europe avoids imposing centralised control. Digital sovereignty largely manifests itself in Europe in the form of data. However, focusing blindly on a strict interpretation of sovereignty, without trying to retrofit the Internet, will mean that the Internet will be weakened, to the detriment of Europe, its users and the Internet itself, argues Konstantinos Komaitis of the Internet Society. Despite increased efforts for more integration, Europe has always been rife with social, cultural and economic contradictions. Some economic ones came to the forefront during the 2008 financial crisis and demonstrated the deep divide between Europe's north and south. That divide was put to rest through multiple bailout programmes that left many dissatisfied but which managed to put a brake on the trend towards separation and disunity. |
