This paper examines which combinations of factors contribute to internet regulatory agencies' informal autonomy from corporate interests, building on a qualitative comparative analysis and interviews with senior officials.

KEYWORDS: Internet governance, Network infrastructure, Autonomy, Internet regulatory agencies, Corporate interests

Governments around the world pressure internet companies to get informally what they cannot obtain through formal regulatory channels, a pervasive mechanism of governance that challenges fundamental democratic priors.

KEYWORDS: Regulation, Internet governance, Jawboning, Freedom of expression, Threats

This article explores how governments, shifting from an anti-interventionist stance and views of regulatory impossibility, are embracing an infrastructural turn through strategies that include hijacking, and localising the "points of control" of the internet.

KEYWORDS: Internet governance, Points of control, Digital sovereignty, Infrastructural turn, internet fragmentation
