Both statements contain a kernel of truth wrapped in dangerous oversimplification.

Data is the backbone of the modern economy, but if you don’t have control of the infrastructure, you don’t control the data. Historically, data sovereignty was a compliance checkbox, something for the legal team to handle. Today, it’s a strategic national priority.
