  >"[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.

    Also, 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.

      No security solution is full proof but it's a step in the right direction.

        How 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.

          At 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...
