Russian lawmaker says BRICS should create its own alternative internet to preserve traditional values
Russian lawmaker says BRICS should create its own alternative internet to preserve traditional values
Will there eventually be a whole new internet run by BRICS rather than the current deep state world order? It is certainly a possibility.
A document seen by RIA Novosti shows that Russia's first deputy chairman of the State Duma Control Committee, Dmitry Gusev, submitted a request for the creation of a new "single inclusive BRICS+ cyberspace" to Maksut Shadaev, the head of Russia's Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media.
The proposal stipulates the creation of a whole new alternative internet "where traditional values and goodness prevail." This can be done, the request further states, by "using technical, organizational and civilizational capabilities common to the entire association."
Gusev said that the 5th International Municipal Forum BRICS+, which was held in the Russian city of St. Petersburg, was a great place to begin discussions about a new unified internet structure for BRICS member countries, which now include Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.), this in addition to the original Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa after which the BRICS acronym is derived.

China's Xi Jinping also issues call for new global internet
Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed similar sentiments in a recent call for changes to be made to the way the global internet works.
"We advocate prioritizing development and building a more inclusive and prosperous cyberspace," Xi said at the opening ceremony of the 2023 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit.
While it certainly makes sense for BRICS to continue working towards de-dollarization and better equalizing the power structure around the world, not everyone is on board with the idea of a new internet – especially if that internet is controlled in any way by communist China.
"We do not need DPRK intranet," one commenter at RT wrote in support of a new BRICS currency and de-dollarization, but not a new alternative internet for BRICS member nations.
"I will always be against digital borders, no matter who puts them up. This will be a disaster for free speech and international trade."
Another wrote that the current internet, despite all the claims about it being "free," is just as bad and worthy of replacing.
"There is even more replacement need of fake western infrastructure (soft- and hardware) on almost every level," this person wrote. "This includes the UN and, of course, the International Court of Justice, which is obviously not able or willing to act to conform to the international law."
Others welcomed the idea of a closed intranet between BRICS nations, but stressed the fact that BRICS must first deal with the dollar before moving on to other things like a brand-new internet.
"I love the objective but please: de-dollarization first," one wrote. "I want to see that warmonger, deeply-in-debt country back to primitive," this person added, referring, of course, to the United States.
"BRICS should create their own internet, currency, language and a big, huge wall around the U.S. and the EU in order to avoid dealing, talking, or even looking at them," suggested another, perhaps jokingly.
"If BRICS unseats the dollar, the Zionists who run the U.S. will no longer be able to destroy the world," wrote another about how the internet we already have could be made better simply by destroying the U.S. dollar and the war criminals who rely on it to fund their global terrorism operations.
