When we launched our Authoritarian Tech channel a year ago, the talk of the town was a war of two internets: the “open” internet on one side and another doctrine, called “internet sovereignty,” on the other.
The internet sovereignty side was represented by China and Russia, and when we needed a header image for our article about it, we made the one above.
But how united are China and Russia really, in their approach to the internet?
That’s the question a new report from the Hague Program for Cyber Norms, funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, tries to answer.
