Europe and compliance8 min readOur European vision: sovereignty is a setting, not a stickerDigital sovereignty has become a logo on a website. We think it is a property of a configuration: where inference runs, who can be compelled to disclose, and whether a rule refuses a call or merely disapproves of it.
