The internet is less free this year than it has ever been. Some countries pull the plug on the entire country’s internet access during electoral periods while others block access to social media platforms. Countries are assertively exercising rights to control digital activities and information and data flows under the banners of privacy, national security and national interest. What does this mean for organisations? How can they navigate this increasingly balkanised internet?
