Data governance stands at the intersection of powerful and often contradictory forces, forming a complex nexus that shapes digital society. It is structured around three fundamental axes, each presenting its own challenges and need for balance.

On the one hand, national sovereignty grants states the right to regulate and protect the data of their citizens and institutions, treating such data as a strategic resource.

On the other hand, the global flow of data is vital to the digital economy, and multinational companies and global online platforms depend on the ability to transfer data across borders to deliver integrated services and remain competitive.

Last but not least, technological innovation, the engine of progress across numerous fields, including the Metaverse, relies on access to massive volumes of data.

Each new dataset collected and each new technology implemented creates new vulnerabilities and security risks, ranging from data breaches to the misuse of information.

Therefore, technological development must be guided by "privacy by design" principles and a culture of cybersecurity, ensuring that progress is not achieved at the expense of our safety and privacy.
