@RealBRICSnews.#ThinkBrics.Recommended.May 10 B R I C S T O B U I L D I T S O W N I N T E R N E T Why 🌍🌏#BRICS Must Build Its #Own_Internet Now: * https://t.co/EhaD4m6X6m * Digital Sovereignty Explained: In today’s digitally weaponized world, BRICS nations must seize control of their digital infrastructure. BRICS, digital sovereignty, internet independence, and internet infrastructure are no longer optional but essential. This video unpacks why the BRICS alliance, representing the Global South, must urgently build its own alternative internet to escape the U.S. tech monopoly and Western tech dominance. From the rise of CyberBRICS to the threat of internet fragmentation and rising geopolitical tensions, the discussion lays bare how centralized internet governance enables internet control, and how data localization and cybersecurity are now forms of digital resilience. Drawing insights from Luca Belli’s CyberBRICS research, we explore real solutions: independent data centers, BRICS cloud services, regional internet governance, and strategies for overcoming digital dependency. The video highlights how countries like China, Russia, and India are building digital ecosystems that challenge existing digital markets. It also exposes how even allies of the West are increasingly vulnerable under the current system of internet governance, where tech sovereignty and internet security are dictated by private firms aligned with state power. Watch to understand why BRICS nations must act fast to avoid being permanently locked out of global tech standards—and how they could lead a new digital order. While this video presents a strong case for tech sovereignty and digital infrastructure reform across BRICS, it doesn't dive deeply into the technical specifics of implementing alternative internet protocols, nor does it extensively cover the cultural and ethical implications of increased internet control within BRICS countries themselves. Critical questions around human rights, internet freedom, and the potential for digital authoritarianism—especially within large-scale state-run systems—remain open. Also not discussed in detail are the roles of private BRICS-based tech firms and civil society in shaping this shift.
