Of course this news does not surprise me, but I guarantee that many Brazilians will be nervous, they did not believe we would be targets in phone calls.
Politicians, businessmen, journalists and activists should be the main targets, I think.
Reporting by O Globo shows how the country was targeted in the surveillance data reported by former CIA technical Edward Snowden

Persons residing or in transit in Brazil, as well as companies operating in the country, were the target of eavesdropping National Security Agency of the United States (NSA, in English), according to a report published Saturday by the newspaper O Globo. About 2.3 billion phone calls and emails have been spied on, according to the newspaper.
Last month, the former coach of Edward Snowden denounced CIA surveillance operations conducted by communications agency in the United States and abroad. He is a fugitive from justice of his country, who accuses him of spying for leaking data from Washington. WikiLeaks, which provides support to Snowden, said he requested asylum in 27 countries. The president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, said on Saturday that will offer asylum to the fugitive American.
According to the secret documents that were leaked, Brazil is highlighted on the maps of the NSA, alongside countries such as China, Russia, Iran and Pakistan. According to the data, the phone calls and emails were spied thanks to Brazilian corporate alliance between a major U.S. phone company, which maintains business relationships with telecommunications services in Brazil and abroad.
The report states that the documents do not disclose the name of the phone company in the United States responsible for the bridge and also says that it is unclear whether the companies of Brazil are aware of how the partnership with the U.S. was used. What is shown in the leaked documents, according to the newspaper report, is that the NSA uses to access the program Fairview systems Brazilians.
Unlike what happens in the United States, where the NSA need judicial authorization to spy on the communications of a resident or a business, "investigations" outside U.S. borders does not require formality, according to presidential order.
Until the leak Snowden, the espionage on a global scale were only a suspicion. The confirmation of the actions led by the U.S. government has caused diplomatic discomfort with several countries, particularly in Europe.
