# Internet Governance Internet governance refers to the development and application of shared principles, norms, and decision-making procedures that shape the evolution and use of the internet. It involves a diverse set of stakeholders, including governments, private sector entities, civil society, and technical communities, who collaborate to address issues such as cybersecurity, digital rights, and access. The aim is to ensure a stable and equitable digital environment. In relation to data, effective internet governance frameworks are crucial for safeguarding data security, privacy, and ethical use. These frameworks help build trust and foster a resilient digital ecosystem where data is utilized responsibly.
