Google is scared more countries will follow Brazil's lead and demand they host data on their citizens locally. I understand the costs could be big for that, but I almost want it to happen (in EU, too, where it wouldn't need to be in the every country anyway) as punishment to US companies for agreeing with this level of spying, without fighting back much against it, because they thought there would be no consequences to that, and no cost to them. So yes, I do think they deserve that to happen to them, and as a foreigner I'd feel a lot safer if my data couldn't be accessed at will by the US government. At least I can help change the government in my own country.
