Pragmatismo

Professor Walter Lippold reveals how Big Tech controls Brazilian government data:

  • Your voter registration runs on Amazon servers
  • Your health data is on Big Tech clouds
  • Through AWS Marketplace, Serpro (federal data processing) can hire companies like Palantir without bidding
  • USP, Unesp, Unicamp (top Brazilian universities) also use these structures
  • After 2016, Brazil free software programs were dismantled by presidential decree
  • The Justice system uses Gmail and Google Workspace
  • The judiciary uses Cloudflare CDN

This is a national sovereignty emergency. Brazil has the talent and capacity for digital sovereignty but abandoned its free software path.
