The map on page 6 is interesting. Server locations of note:
Moscow, Russia
Caracas, Venezuela
Tripoli, Libya
Hubei Province, China
Burma
Lagos, Nigeria
Saudi Arabia
Iran (and geograhically surrounding Iran)
Ukraine
Based on page 13, I wonder if Google have any servers at these locations?
Oh, what a surprise: http://royal.pingdom.com/2008/04/11/map-of-all-google-data-center-locations/ http://royal.pingdom.com/2008/04/11/map-of-all-google-data-c...
Does that look familiar?
- jnbiche 13y agoI'm very suspicious of Google's role in all this, but there's not much overlap in the list above and the map you refer to, outside of the normal population and business centers in Europe and the US. I didn't see any in Google data centers in Libya, Burma, Nigeria, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, Iran, or even Venezuela (the only one in S. American looks like it's in Brazil). Based on a quick glance, the only overlap between the list above and Google's server looks like Moscow, a major global business center. Were we looking at the same map?
- junto 13y agoSorry, I wasn't suggesting Google were complicit, but the NSA need to suck up search queries, so it makes sense to locate these NSA servers right next to local Google installations. Again, page 13; a local Google Pakistan search query.
