This is starting to become a trend, which was to be expected. When you spy on your allies, and they find out, they won't trust you or your companies anymore, and they will isolate themselves from you as much as possible. Maybe this will lead to the decentralization of power in the world, and EU and Latin America will start challenging US in services and economy - which would be good for everyone in the world.

"Brazil Wants National 'Antisnoop' Email" Translation: Brazil wants an email they can snoop without regards to unimportant things such as "due process" and "privacy"

  Are all people, everywhere, so under the thumb of their intelligence agencies that they have no hope of privacy? Or are you willing to admit that some people, somewhere, have actual freedom and self-determination?

Don't delude yourself, Brazil wants servers inside their borders so they can spy on them without resistance.

I don't think the spying stuff is leading to a decentralization of power. Moving from unipolarity to multipolarity was happening anyway. Further, I don't think that they will challenge the US in services or economy simply because the governments are upset at being spied on. Citizens still want to buy what they want to buy. If the average citizen of Mexico got really angry about this, enough to make actual sacrifices in their day to day life, I would be incredibly surprised.
