Brazil, after leaks that suggested the US was spying on its country, is planning to end its dependence on US infrastructure.
Dilma Rousseff is encouraging the development of data centers for Brazilian users by companies like Google and Facebook. This way, local communications will not have to travel all the way to the United States, with the NSA lurking.
The Brazilian president has already had a meeting with the Internet Commission, an official organization created to coordinate and integrate all Internet service initiatives, as reported by Terra.
Dilma Rousseff is particularly upset after it was revealed that the NSA was not only spying on her and her Mexican counterpart, but also targeting the Brazilian oil company Petrobras.
