Tech’s ‘Sovereignty Washing’ in Europe Will Ripple in the Global South - my essay for Lawfare on the hyperscalers’ “sovereign cloud” offerings

The 2025 BRICS declaration -- thanks largely to Brazil's diplomacy -- spoke of the need to "avoid Internet fragmentation". The Global South's impulse to keep networks open is undermined by hyperscalers' sovereignty cloud offerings, I argue in this Lawfare essay.
Microsoft, Amazon, and Google have all reintroduced “sovereignty cloud” offerings in response to increased European desire for digital sovereignty from the U.S. @arunmsukumar explores how these cloud offerings could have negative consequences for the Global South.

Athera Venture Partners’ latest newsletter has a fabulous account of the origins of Indian venture capital - and a shout-out to Midnight’s Machines athera.substack.com/p/june-2025-at…
I try not to vent here but - the past tense of “cost” when used as an active verb is “cost”, not “costed”. Way too many of us use this incorrectly in our daily lives.

Thanks @EUCyberDirect for the shout out!
