PRISM (surveillance program) - Wikipedia
Alot of people seem to care WAAAAY more about using "PROPER" gender bases pronouns than the fact that the US government is tracking and storing every single thing we do.
That data couldn't POSSIBLY EVER fall into the wrong hands and be used against us in the future, huh?
No...never. Nothing collected by the US government is EVER used against any of its citizens....that would be wrong...so it never happens...right?
Why did the NSA build this facility?.....HMMM...
Utah Data Center - Wikipedia
The planned structure provides 1 to 1.5 million square feet (90,000–140,000 m2),[20][21][22] with 100,000 square feet (9,000 m2) of data center space and more than 900,000 square feet (84,000 m2) of technical support and administrative space.[7][20] It is projected to cost $1.5–2 billion.[3][7][20][23][24] A report suggested that it will cost another $2 billion for hardware, software, and maintenance.[20] The completed facility is expected to require 65 megawatts of electricity, costing about $40 million per year.[7][20] The facility is expected to use 1.7 million gallons (6,435 m3) of water per day.[25] An article by Forbes estimates the storage capacity as between 3 and 12 exabytes in the near term, based on analysis of unclassified blueprints, but mentions Moore's Law, meaning that advances in technology could be expected to increase the capacity by orders of magnitude in the coming years.
