Piracy General

Also, your research is silly. I have a single disk shelf with more than 168TB of capacity today that cost just shy of $5k a few months ago. You can't compare 2003 capacities and costs to today's. Not to mention the NSA having a disgustingly near-infinite budget.

Aside from the fact that the bandwidth throughput would also be a lot higher, you would need very specialized hardware to fill up the storage space fast enough. Back of the hand estimate is that your personal pool would take at least ten days to be filled up, not the single day needed for the 2003 estimates. Assuming that speed and capacity has scaled up still requires a massive amount of memory and storage manufacturing, and the nsa doesn’t have secret factories of its own but it buys from standard manufacturers like WD and Seagate. And the sheer amount of storage they would need to buy would be constrained by existing factories, with their purchasing having to add up to more than any other customer combined and that would be hard for publicly traded companies to hide from their investors.

Sure I bet they tell their leaders (which in theory would be the President) that they can read the entire internet, but they would be limited by filters. If they wish to prove me wrong then I’ll be buying a lotto max tomorrow that better be a winning ticket when they’re done.

AI is already in mass surveillance. Flock Cameras, and now this SignalTrace that is going to use additional device fingerprinting to track where you are and who you are specifically. These companies that are vendors for it are openly proud of it. They simply do not care anymore. I said it in a different thread, but ever since the mass surveillance was exposed by Snowden and others, the government agencies just laughed and didn't care anymore about it being clandestine. People simply did not care about mass surveillance and just went on with their niggercattle lives. I did at the time as well, I was just a freshman in high school and only cared about video games, so I had no idea what was going on, then once I was older and started seeing a lot more "personal ads" infesting my devices that I went down the rabbit hole and really got interested in how bad it's been and getting.
