Comment on Brazilian president: US surveillance a 'breach of international law'parent

I realise this is a bit trolly - but:

.... privacy IS a fundamental human right

"Rights" are not universal. Individual rights are not universal. It feels a bit like exporting a Western style thinking on the world and saying everyone should agree with it.

You are completely right, it should not "export" and force this kind of values all over the world

But at least we got two countries that agree with this values, so they might speak about those values as equally shared and agreed by both parties, as written in their own democratic constitutions of rights

So it might be at least universal between them :)
