Comment on Security without sovereignty: Australia’s quiet slide into digital dependency

Largely agree with this article, in fact the issue it covers is a driver behind why i choose AZ over commercial social media, that distance from the coercive social media controls and closeness to the owner of this social media afforded by AZ is something to be valued. In my opinion.
My only problem with the article is a quiet assumption that I think is highly debatable. Have we ever truly been a sovereign nation? I’d maybe argue the same case differently, that we have reached a scale as a nation now that some form of harder sovereignty, than we have claimed thus far, can realistically be considered.

No, we had the Poms until WW2, now we have the yanks. Anyone that believes we’ve ever truly ‘stood alone’ is clearly deluged. Perhaps we might one day, but that would take a different sort of leadership. Likely the sort that most of us would consider objectionable.
