Brazil Plan to Purge America From Its Internet - Polidicks

Good fucking luck lol.

All I have to say is, good luck. If the NSA are ballsy to bug embassies in other countries what makes you think they won't try to bug your fancy new underwater cables/servers [editline]17th September 2013[/editline] Fucking ninja

Poor title, read the article. They don't want to rely on the USA for internet connectivity, to keep their own data secure.

[QUOTE]Launch a state-run email service through the postal service to act as an alternative to Gmail, Yahoo Mail and others.[/QUOTE] Government run email services always turn out terrible.

Brazil and other south american countries are mostly ideologically awesome but usually have terrible policy execution. It is a good idea but this will not work out at all.

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;42231023]Government run email services always turn out terrible.[/QUOTE] It's looking good (in the concept) I heard it will use digital certification for the messages, a new technology to certificate the sender identity, as well SHA-2 256 bits encryption. Just the name (Mensageria Digital) it's sounds awful in portuguese

[QUOTE=Bletotum;42231010]Poor title, read the article. They don't want to rely on the USA for internet connectivity, to keep their own data secure.[/QUOTE] Whilst subtly using it to push for control of the internet in Brazil.

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;42231023]Government run email services always turn out terrible.[/QUOTE] You're pretty much asking for them to monitor your emails.

I hope this will keep the Brazilians off the American DOTA 2 servers.

[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;42231055]You're pretty much asking for them to monitor your emails.[/QUOTE] Brazil just wants to cut out the middleman and have the surveillance for themselves.

Finally DOTA 2 and other MMORPGS will be free!

but then how will brazilians ask their favorite artists (read, all of them) to COME TO BRAZIL

Good fucking luck lol.

[QUOTE=person11;42231047]Brazil and other south american countries are mostly ideologically awesome but usually have terrible policy execution. It is a good idea but this will not work out at all.[/QUOTE] serious question: how the fuck are south american countries 'ideologically awesome'?

Even though it won't work, I hope it seriously does. And all other countries who have found that the US spies on them should ban American ISPs in protest.

Its all smoke and mirrors people. They want this so that they alone have the power the censor the internet in their country. It's not about protecting freedom of speech they want to further restrict it. Right now a lot of political movements in Brazil are gaining momentum through the use of social media. This is something that I assume the powers that be want to prevent.

Allow me, as a Brazillian, to put forward my reaction to this piece of news: [B]AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH[/B] Seriously, our country can't even do one thing, and instead of working on the things they should be working on, they decide that suddenly they're so important the NSA can't take their eyes off them? Yeah, I know "bla bla bla biggest economy", but Brazil's politicians are so dumb fuck corrupt that the only thing the NSA would possibly get is a bunch of e-mails detailing how to fuck over the population some more. Rouseff, get off your fucking chair, and try doing some shit that matters, like working on the problems that caused the biggest wave of protests in the country since that one time we impeached one of our presidents.

quick question though, doesn't Google like corun the big search engine in Brazil? also Government run email.... hmm doesn't inspire much trust in them not reading your spam

oh for fuck's sake, this is stupid. Dilma, what the hell?

That's fucking stupid, and I haven't heard of that from any national media sources so I doubt it.

Our president is making such a drama over this NSA scandal, I mean, that's on the bottom of the list of important things they should be worrying about.

[QUOTE=Kinky Frog;42234884]Our president is making such a drama over this NSA scandal, I mean, that's on the bottom of the list of important things they should be worrying about.[/QUOTE] He's probably trying to distract you from other, more important things.

Yay no more BRs in my league of legends

Good luck, most DNS, content holding and other servers are all located in the United States, Russia and China have been pushing the UN to make a world treaty so they can get their fingers on it.

[QUOTE=kiloy;42231074]I hope this will keep the Brazilians off the American DOTA 2 servers.[/QUOTE] Don't forget the NA CS:GO servers too (Valve even added their own matchmaking servers in Brazil too, yet some still come on NA servers)!
