DOES DATA SOVEREIGNTY MAKE TECH MORE TRANSPARENT OR MORE SECRETIVE?

Author(s) Mr. Paarth P. Veturkar
Country India
Abstract In current time, data moves faster than people or goods across borders, and this flow has transformed information into strategic asset that nations are increasingly determined to control. In such a political and legal environment, the concept of data sovereignty has gained utmost attraction, which at core implies, the states to exercise their sovereign right to dictate its authority over the data that is generated within its borders especially in aspects of the storing, processing and accessing of the data. The ethical paradox becomes visible the moment these laws move from paper to practice. Whereby, the governments present data localization and sovereignty rules as safeguards for citizens, arguing that
keeping data within national borders limits foreign surveillance and protects the rights of users. In reality, these same laws do create new channels for state monitoring, widen gaps in public oversight and generate fresh layers of secrecy around how governments and large corporations’ access or use digital
information. China’s Cybersecurity Law, India’s 2023 DPDP Act and even the EU’s GDPR have each demonstrated this tension. While each of these framework claims to empower users, all three have enabled stronger state visibility into corporate data flows, giving governments more control than public
often recognizes.
