**What the source does not establish.** Does not establish any EU-wide sovereignty position, a specific Ofcom enforcement action, or the ruling's outcome on appeal; the view and framing are FFO's own.

**Index score.** No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0\. opinion moves no question; FFO argues Ofcom's data power is unbound by a named investigation. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
