Session teaser

This plenary session will discuss Internet Fragmentation from both a technical and jurisdictional point of view, and highlight implications for Europe.

Session description

This plenary will discuss what we mean by ‘Internet fragmentation’ and ‘digital sovereignty;’ what the social, political and economic costs of unintended fragmentation are; and what Europe should do to address this challenge.

Our traditional international system is based upon the notion of territorial sovereignty. Can we apply national jurisdiction on the Internet without re-aligning the cross-border network along geographic boundaries or extending jurisdiction extraterritoriality? Do we have the necessary legal tools and frameworks in place that a transnational Internet demands? In the European context, debates around Internet fragmentation and digital sovereignty increase in the context of the enforcement of the right to be de-indexed, privacy protection and data localization, as well as the Digital Single Market.
