Cyber sovereignty

Cyber sovereignty is a phrase used in the field of Internet governance to describe governments' desire to exercise control over the Internet within their own borders, including political, economic, cultural and technological activities; that is, to extend the concept of sovereignty to include all aspects of the Internet. In his 2015 book Data and Goliath, American security expert Bruce Schneier says the cyber sovereignty movement, in countries such as Russia, China, France and Saudi Arabia, was given an enormous boost by the 2013 revelations of widespread international NSA surveillance, which those countries pointed to as justification for their activities and evidence of U.S. hypocrisy on Internet freedom issues.[1]
