The Future of Digital Influence: Power, Policy, and the Global Order
摘要
The final chapter synthesizes the book’s findings and projects them into the future. It evaluates regulatory responses in the United States and Europe, from divestiture demands to data localization and algorithmic audits, and situates them within a larger contest over digital sovereignty. The chapter closes by synthesizing TikTok’s cultural and political functions, contrasting its narrative management with YouTube’s, and arguing that international politics now lives in digital feeds: governing platforms like TikTok is inseparable from governing world order.
