The Geopolitics of Sovereign Data

CASE STUDIES

CASE SUMMARY: This piece analyzes the information campaigns surrounding the 2016 Brexit referendum, characterizing the public debate as a highly polarized "battle of ideas" where emotional narratives and political agendas often supersede objective facts. It notes that both the "Leave" and "Remain" camps have been accused of fear-mongering, making it difficult for voters to find nuanced analysis. The article concludes that the campaign has been dominated by desperate domestic politicking, which has impaired the electorate's ability to properly evaluate the consequences of EU membership.
