INTERPOL
Digital Balkanization refers to the growing fragmentation of the internet as countries create their own regulations, restrictions, and digital borders. In the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) committee, the agenda item Addressing the Challenges of Digital Balkanization and its Impact on International Law Enforcement Cooperation focuses on how this fragmentation can complicate cross-border investigations, data sharing, and cooperation between law enforcement agencies. Discussions aim to strengthen international collaboration and develop strategies that allow authorities to effectively combat cybercrime despite increasing digital divisions.
