“Brazil may require Internet service companies such as Google Inc. (GOOG) and Facebook Inc. (FB) to set up local data storage centers.  Internet service companies would have to follow Brazilian privacy laws and the government may also decide to store sensitive data such as tax information within the country, Internet Policy Secretary Virgilio Almeida told reporters in Brasilia after a meeting between industry representatives and President Dilma Rousseff.  The measures designed to protect information privacy come in response to allegations that the U.S. National Security Agency used software to access communications between Rousseff and staff members.”
