		<description><![CDATA[Iran's 2026 internet shutdown was not a glitch but a trial of digital sovereignty, revealing how easily connectivity can be weaponised to silence society, concentrate state power, and fracture the promise of a global internet. <a href="https://circleid.com/poststhe-sovereignty-paradox-what-irans-2026-shutdown-reveals-about-the-fragmenting-internet">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The debate surrounding digital sovereignty has gained momentum in recent years, particularly within BRICS nations, where governments seek to assert greater control over their digital ecosystems. Proponents of digital sovereignty often frame it as a necessary countermeasure against foreign technological dominance, positioning it as either a "positive" force- fostering local innovation and self-reliance- or a "negative" one- fueling authoritarian control and economic isolation. <a href="https://circleid.com/postswhy-digital-sovereignty-cannot-escape-its-own-contradictions-reflections-for-moving-forward">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> UN's Global Digital Compact: A Fork in the Road for Internet Governance? (Featured Blog)</title>

		<description><![CDATA[As the United Nations' Global Digital Compact (GDC) approaches its expected adoption, a growing chorus of critics warns that it threatens the very foundations of multistakeholderism in Internet governance. While the GDC aims to foster global cooperation and advance shared objectives for digital transformation, it not only centralizes power within the UN but also sidelines the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) - a platform that has, for years, been instrumental in amplifying diverse voices, especially from marginalized communities and the private sector. <a href="https://circleid.com/postsuns-global-digital-compact-a-fork-in-the-road-for-internet-governance">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In an era where our lives are increasingly intertwined with digital technologies, a recent development in the realm of digital sovereignty has sparked a pressing concern for nations and individuals alike.

		<description><![CDATA[In an Internet governance agenda that treats diversity of addressing issues as the ultimate end at any cost, technology and its end-users are mere means, and much of the work that sustains the Internet is ignored entirely. As a nation, you are free to initiate different regulations, but when you start getting into the world of infrastructure, you are legislating far beyond the nation-state borders. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20240108-a-layered-approach-to-ig-cooperation-or-crisis">More...</a>]]></description>
