Over the course of today, at a leisurely rate, I think we'll do a roundup of European efforts regarding #DigitalSovereignty and #DigitalIndependance. Europe and Canada have both struggled with this issue, but it's fair to say our allies across the Atlantic have been far more progressive and Digital Sovereignty has far more awareness with citizens and individual governments.

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.
