Brazil is a pioneer for Internet privacy

With its new internet law, Brazil seems to stand at the forefront of privacy respect on the internet on a worldwide basis.

Last week, this law that was approved by the Brazilian parliament states that Brazilian data stored on servers abroad are within Brazilian juridiction.

Brazil “takes the lead in this complex debate” said Ronaldo Lemos, director of Creative Commons, an open license based in Brazil. “Internet is not regulated by the government but by all the sectors of society. “This law is a milestone on an international, because, according to him, it is dealing with neutrality, diversity and internet freedom.

The United States, whose intelligence services have even spied on the Brazilian President, as revealed by the Snowden scandal, must yield on this digital data field.
According to the Minister of Justice, José Eduardo Cardoso, the way the law was designed, is also innovative as digital activists have been also involved. “There were over two thousand contributions, much of which has been accepted.”
However, activists do not appreciate all the provisions of the law. Critics rise against the one that implies that Internet providers must store data for six months.

The best way to ensure that your personal data are not tracked or stolen when you are online is to use a VPN service. Le VPN reduces your online movements by replacing your routing information through an anonymous IP address, thus avoiding any geolocation, whether on your computer or mobile device. Le VPN secure DNS servers keep secret the queries you make, so that no one – even your ISP – can see your browsing history. In addition, your Internet connection is encrypted with a very strong system that protects you from hackers and illegal ears trying to listen and obtain sensitive information about you. Your Internet connection is hidden behind the numerous Le VPN servers: when you are connected to Le VPN, no one can access your computer or your mobile device without using Le VPN protected servers.
