Digital autonomy ?
"Australia’s digital policy shouldn’t be dictated by large platforms or external geopolitical actors."
"The “digital sovereignty” movement in the European Union (EU) can show us the way. European countries are gradually breaking up with American tech giants and pushing for local AI development, all in the name of achieving digital autonomy."
"The ultimate goal here is digital autonomy. It means reducing reliance on systems vulnerable to growing geopolitical and economic risks. If you make your own devices and host your data locally, you’re not at the mercy of multinational corporations whose interests may not align with your own."
"Decentralised social media ecosystems allow independently operated communities to communicate across shared protocols without being controlled by a single corporation. One such example is the Fediverse, which includes platforms like micro-blogging site Mastodon and video sharing site PeerTube." >>

What makes this especially serious is that the campaign has been marked by harsh rhetoric, disinformation, and disputes over outside influence. That is precisely why this vote is also a test of the resilience of democratic public life.

We like to think walls belong to the past.

What once looked like walls made of concrete now show up as narratives, algorithms, and silent lines we don’t question enough.
