To demonstrate just how quickly the public perception of #DigitalSovereignty has changed, this EU article argues that the problem is misunderstood. It states that "digital dependencies are immense and independence is unreachable", and "it will result in a reduction in cooperation between companies and governments". A Canadian government policy statement made similar arguments in November of 2025.

Starting in 2019, the EU Commission agreed to put digital policies as one of the cornerstones of EU legislation. By 2024, 3 important pieces of legislation became effective: Data Governance Act, Digital Markets Act, and Digital Services Act. The Digital Fairness Act is expected later this year, regulating influence mechanics, including dark patterns, addictive or exploitative design, and behavioral manipulation.
