Digital sovereignty is about having agency over our digital lives. It means a nation can govern its own data, infrastructure, and digital services under its own laws, rather than outsourcing that power elsewhere. At its core, it’s about autonomy and self-determination in the digital world — choosing how technology is used, reducing harmful dependencies, and protecting people’s rights to privacy and data ownership.
