Yes, tech companies are increasingly becoming significant forces in global governance. Giants like Google, Meta, and Microsoft wield immense influence over digital infrastructure, AI standards, data flows, and even conflict zones (e.g., Starlink in Ukraine). They shape policies through lobbying, self-regulation, and expertise, often rivaling nation-states in a "technopolar" world. This shift challenges traditional sovereignty, prompting calls for accountability and new multilateral frameworks.https://carnegieendowment.org/europe/strategic-europe/2025/10/corporate-geopolitics-when-billionaires-rival-states?lang=en
