Controlling internet content in the EU: towards digital sovereignty
通过分析1995-2021年国际组织的互联网政策文件，研究了欧盟数字主权的修辞与现实，发现政策产出和话语正从优先自由获取转向公共秩序。
We analyse the rhetoric and reality of EU digital sovereignty by looking at content control.The control of online content is central to sovereignty because it relates to fundamental freedoms and democratic competition.Our main data source is the unique International Organizations in Global Internet Governance (IO-GIG) dataset which contains internet policy output documents across international institutions and issue areas between 1995 and 2021.By assessing policy output, we show structural trends in content control output in volume, bindingness, and orientation.By analysing policy discourse, we show the evolution of frames on content control over time.We find evidence for a comprehensive but still ongoing trend towards digital sovereignty in policy output and a shift from prioritising free access to the public order in discourse.
