Where was the Internet in the remarks of the Brazilian Presidents at the UN General Assembly in 2015 and 2016?
Journal Title: Conjuntura Austral: journal of the Global South - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 42
Abstract
After the reaction to the Snowden revelations in 2013 and 2014, the Internet was not mentioned by Dilma Rousseff at the opening ceremony of the UN General Assembly in 2015. In 2016, her successor was silent again. Such a silence is partially explained by the same set of reasons. Even though the circumstances in 2015 might absolve the gap, they do not condone it in 2016. This paper evaluates the gap and project its potential consequences.
