Między wolnością informacji a suwerennością cyfrową. Nordyckie odpowiedzi na dominację platform Big Tech
Between Information Freedom and Digital Sovereignty: Nordic Responses to the Dominance of Big Tech Platforms

Summary/Abstract: In the age of global digital platform dominance, the Nordic countries demonstrate a unique approach to regulating the information ecosystem, balancing the protection of freedom of expression with the pursuit of digital sovereignty. This article examines the public policies of Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland toward Big Tech platforms in the context of countering disinformation, safeguarding media pluralism, and ensuring democratic access to information. Grounded in the concept of the “media welfare state,” the text compares the Nordic model with more liberal and market-oriented approaches found in Anglo-Saxon and Central and Eastern European countries. Drawing on strategic documents, OECD reports, comparative analyses, and academic literature, the article illustrates how these nations adapt to new informational challenges and in what areas they become a model of digital resilience. The study is interdisciplinary, rooted in media studies, political science, and platformization research.
