New Zealand, like many smaller nations, has become deeply reliant on American technology platforms for everything from government operations to daily business functions.

In this week’s episode of The Business of Tech, Canadian journalist and author Paris Marx warns that this dependence is not just a matter of convenience, it’s a growing vulnerability that puts the country’s digital sovereignty at risk.

The issue has gained urgency amid rising geopolitical tensions, especially with the resurgence of Donald Trump in US politics and the increasing weaponisation of tariffs and regulations against countries that challenge the dominance of American tech firms.

What should we do about it? Tune in to hear Paris give his take on how New Zealand can forge a path towards digital sovereignty.
