Digital Dialogue: The Impact of Shifting Geo-politics on the Digital Space

This Digital Dialogue examines how emerging geopolitical shifts—such as the rise of digital authoritarianism, regional data sovereignty, and the fragmentation of the internet—are affecting the global digital landscape. The Panel Taysir Mathlouthi, EU Advocacy Officer for Digital Rights at 7amleh Philip Kabuye, Policy Advisor Digital Rights and space at Oxfam Novib ‘Gbenga Sesan, Executive Director at Paradigm Initiative Background: In the wake of shifting global power dynamics and changing geopolitical tensions, we are witnessing the alignment of powerful tech companies with political objectives. Hence, the digital space is increasingly shaped by factors beyond technology itself. From internet governance to data protection, disruptive political trends are influencing digital infrastructure, policies, and access to information more than ever. Not only states and the global economy are entangled within those competing interests. Given that the implications on human, social and digital rights, civic tech, and the movements for global social and climate justice are profound, how can civil society organisations (CSOs) react and navigate this New Digital Normal?
