ABSTRACT
It’s 2024 and in this modern, digitalized world, the idea of data sovereignty has grown more intricate and nuanced. Data sovereignty rules have historically been created to guarantee that information created within a specific country is still governed by its laws and regulations. But as digital technologies have proliferated and globalised data flows have increased, traditional ideas of data sovereignty have come under scrutiny, casting doubt on their applicability and efficacy in today’s interconnected society.
This article tries to examine the importance of reevaluating data sovereignty laws and policies in light of developing technology and changing digital environments. It makes the case that although local data sovereignty is still crucial for safeguarding security, privacy, and regulatory compliance, a strictly local strategy might not be enough to handle the complexity of international data flows and with regards to the jurisdictional complications2. Rather, a more sophisticated and adaptable strategy is required one that fosters innovation and economic expansion while striking a balance between the interests of private citizens, corporations, and governments.
This article also explores the possible advantages and difficulties of taking a more global view on data sovereignty, using examples from a range of sectors and geographical locations4. In order to provide universal frameworks and standards for data governance while honoring the various cultural, legal, and ethical contexts in which data is generated and utilized, it emphasizes the significance of international cooperation and collaboration. Furthermore it is also discussed how new technologies like cloud computing, Internet of Things, Block-chain Techniques, and artificial intelligence will affect data sovereignty in the future.
