As a brazillian, I find this very unlikely.
In 2013, when the same party was in power, SERPRO was tasked with replacing Microsoft in key aspects, such as government email (which was handled by Outlook Server at that time) and operating systems.
The main reason was fear of espionage. So, in reality, we are more afraid of the US spying on us than random internet dissidents.
- serial_dev 2y agoAs a non Brazilian, sometimes when a government says a company is spying on its citizens, they mean that they want access, too, to the spying and censoring apparatus.
- alganet 2y agoI see your point. Maybe if I was in government I would think the same. Catch criminals before they act, stuff like that (I'm just being the devil's advocate here). This is a dillema, and the worst kind. The kind citizens know nothing about, so the only possible way to talk about it is to speculate. I am, however, too old to speculate about these things anymore.
