The rest of the world needs to bypass the US with its internet routing.
- justicezyx 9y agoAt least China is doing that.

- mc32 9y ago>"[T]here is a growing wariness among the BRICS countries that when their data traffic goes through hubs in Europe or the United States, it incurs a greater 'risk of potential interception...'" I don't know how they square that given it goes though Russia, China, India etc... as if those three neither had snooping capability nor wanted to be able to snoop.
- gozur88 9y agoAlso, while it may drive up the price a little, the idea the NSA won't be able to tap into worldwide internet just because the bits don't travel through the US is naive.
- suyash 9y agoNo security solution is full proof but it's a step in the right direction.
- mc32 9y agoHow is that a 'step in the right direction' for privacy? The whole proposition is preposterous. Russia, India and China all are known to monitor their citizens comms as a matter of course. It's not even hidden or prefaced. If anything, this makes it easier for those countries to intercept their own citizens' comms --which is probably their whole intent.
- justicezyx 9y agoAt least you make sure that they are no monitored by US, in addition to their own government. TBH, I am so disappointed with US government: * Cannot take care of its own people * Initiated wars and instability all over the world * Cannot find the right leader * Spying on anyone and everyone What a fucked-up government...
