Businesses and governments worldwide seek to evade NSA spying
Snowden’s leaks showed that neither .com, nor European Internet domains can be trusted if you want your data to be private and safe, the president of Malaysia-based finance advisory firm Najadi & Partners, Pascal Najadi, told RT.
Najadi has decided to move his company servers into the .ru domain.
“Once reality conquers over illusion, it’s time to wake up,” Najadi told RT’s Aleksey Yaroshevsky.
Najadi said that the decision to have his company’s servers moved to Moscow was driven by “logic” and “common sense,” with no direct business interest. Once Snowden’s files revealed the scale of the American and allied agencies’ data snooping, the company “decided to act accordingly.”
In Russia, one’s data is protected by law, Najadi believes. Moreover, Russia is “a protector of peace,” he said, adding that Russian President Vladimir Putin “just saved the world from a serious, serious war,” referring to the diplomatic developments around the Syrian crisis.
Najadi then pointed out there is an “enormous” interest in his decision from global partners and media, adding he is “sure there will be a follow-up.”
“We’re setting a trend. We’re not into Internet business – we’re a consultancy firm, and we do not gain more business through having a .ru. Having said that, it shows our clients that we take confidentiality serious, and that is the message between the lines,” Najadi explained.
