Episode 8: Data Sovereignty and Localization in a Decentralized World

The episode opens with Dr. Anil Kapoor, an International Data Compliance Advisor, discussing the importance of data sovereignty in today’s globalized environment. Many countries have data localization laws that require certain types of data to remain within their borders, adding a layer of complexity for companies operating across jurisdictions. These laws aim to protect citizens’ data privacy and ensure that local governments have control over sensitive information. However, enforcing these laws becomes more challenging in a decentralized blockchain system, where data might be stored across multiple countries.

Dr. Kapoor challenges Jasmy to explain how they manage data localization requirements in a decentralized network while still upholding the principles of data sovereignty and user control.
