BRICS Countries Build New Internet To Avoid NSA Spying

Fiber optic undersea cable bypassing U.S. to be completed by 2015

BRICS countries are close to completing a brand new Internet backbone that would bypass the United States entirely and thereby protect both governments and citizens from NSA spying.

In light of revelations that the National Security Agency hacked German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s phone, in addition to recording information about 124 billion phone calls during a 30-day period earlier this year, the fallout against the NSA has accelerated.

Brazil is set to finalize a 34,000-kilometre undersea fiber-optic cable by 2015 that will run from Vladivostok, Russia to Fortaleza, Brazil, via Shantou, China, Chennai, India and Cape Town, South Africa.

This wont stop them as poster above said, they would just re tap into that new system and do it all over again...

Is it possible to just go off line instead of spending huge amounts of money? The 2 previous comments are spot on.The NSA will simply re route.
