Brazil represents one of the Internet industries biggest growth opportunities, for example — and one of its biggest NSA headaches. Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff — identified by Snowden as a target of NSA spying — has proposed requiring any company operating in Brazil be required to store its customers' personal information in country. That set off alarm bells inside every Web company.
