Your Brazilian Voter Registration Runs on Amazon: Big Tech Colonial Grip
⚓ Digital Sovereignty 📅 2026-06-01 👤 Pragmatismo 👁️ 5Professor 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.
