"A few tech corporations control most of the world's data. Some countries have been fighting to change that. A small group of tech bros controls much of the world's data and calls the shots on what people see on their social media. This has become an increasing concern for countries around the world, with many enacting new legislation and building new infrastructure to take back control. But government control can present its own problems of surveillance and censorship, and significant gaps in digital rights remain."

A few large technology corporations control the majority of global data and the algorithms that decide what people see on social media. Many countries are enacting legislation and building national infrastructure to reclaim data sovereignty and reduce corporate gatekeeping. Concentration of platform power shapes information flows and democratic discourse. State efforts to control data and platforms risk amplifying surveillance capabilities and enabling censorship. Persistent gaps in international digital-rights protections leave users exposed to both corporate and governmental harms. Resolving these tensions requires policy design that balances decentralization of corporate power, privacy safeguards, freedom of expression, and cross-border cooperation on standards and enforcement.
