Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff opened an international conference in São Paulo on the internet on Wednesday by attacking use of the web by the US for espionage.
But the Brazilian leader tempered her remarks by endorsing a “multi-stakeholder” rather than governmental model for the future governance of the worldwide web that analysts said represented a significant shift in Brasília closer to the US position.
“In Brazil, citizens, companies, diplomatic representatives, even the president of the republic had their communications intercepted,” she told the gathering of about 800 ministers, representatives of private sector companies, non-governmental organisations and others from across the word.
