Everybody agrees that the internet needs new rules – from those governing how people’s private data is handled, or how the integrity of elections is preserved, to the mechanisms for allowing data to flow between companies and nation states or how harmful content is identified and taken down. These decisions will determine whether the norms and standards of the internet are created on a global level, preserving the open, accessible and universal internet of today, or whether individual countries will diverge further from each other, creating their own rules and systems, turning themselves into walled gardens and ending the universal global internet as we know it.
