US government digital surveillance, Brazil's Communication Ministry has
requested to extend the project into a national service. The new system would include encryption and
have servers based in Brazil.
American companies such as Google and Microsoft
are obliged to share their users' data with the NSA. In fact, in the last eight
months of 2012, Hotmail, Google, Facebook, and Twitter provided law enforcement
agencies with information on 64,000 users. The NSA can reportedly also tap into
three-quarters of the data flowing through the US internet and has legal power
to subpoena international communications.
This has led Germany's Minister of the Interior
to tell companies not to use services that go through American servers if they
are concerned about privacy. The French government is also working to build a
domestic cloud infrastructure to compete with the dominant US companies.
