David asked me to write this up in a bit more detail, with links to references, et cetera: http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2013/9/20/brazil-internet-dilmarousseffnsa.html "Despite the clear benefits of these developments for Brazilians, their government's statements have been shrilly and incorrectly branded as extreme and decried as Soviet socialism by some US media. This is largely due to a misimpression that what Brazil is doing is cutting itself off from the Internet or balkanizing the Internet -- when in reality, it's building more Internet faster." et cetera. -Bill
