The Brazilian Senate has terminated the Redata program, designed to suspend federal taxes on data center installations for five years. Introduced through MP 1.318/2025, this initiative faced opposition due to concerns over national sovereignty and technological independence, particularly from scientific and engineering entities.
Critics assert that the program promotes a form of 'digital colonialism' by enabling foreign firms to control data and operations without contributing to local technological growth. The proposal was criticized for failing to align with Brazil's strategic goals for artificial intelligence and national infrastructure development. Public statements from various organizations highlight the necessity of fostering national capabilities over attracting foreign servers.
