As of 11:59 Pm EST last night, the warrantless phone surveillance conducted by the NSA has ended... Supposedly.
Personally, I don't think it's going to end. The Third Party Doctrine basically allows for the interpretation of phone companies being third parties, thus allowing them to freely give over any information without a warrant. Not to mention we don't know exactly what's going on behind the closed doors.
Thoughts?
"ended"
Not really, it's just on the companies to keep records on us... And it's not as if they aren't going to be just hacking Isp's and phone providers to get into those repositories of user data.... it's a joke... If they really wanted users to have privacy, they'd have laws that mandate privacy by design, what they really want is just less of the onus on them... So let's pretend to give the pleebs freedom while we don't halt construction on the Utah Data center... ahah it's really a joke...
It's just a big game of "Hey let's let these morons think we care so we can keep our jobs"
Thanks Congress
If you aren't keeping massive dossiers of 15 year data collection(both meta data and content) on citizens, why do you need 3 massive data centers... Why the fuck do you need that much data... you need it for global data collection on every citizen in the world... 1st lesson of war, gain the high ground...
Well they have to store the internet so they have something to do. Free movies while in the office!
they never get in trouble for lying before and have been caught lying to congress and everyone else. with records like that is there any reason at all to trust anything they say?
i just assume everything they say is a lie or misleading.
It ended the way that the buttons in Windows 10 "turn off" telemetry.
It's called the FREEDOM act.. Very few laws that need such labored accronyms are really what they represent.. like the patriot act..
you could probably store every movie on earth at a reasonable quality on like 15TB
ahah no way... Have you heard of bollywood? hahahaha
Using this estimate below of 44,000 movies (assuming you don't like foreign films and are in the US), then 15TB would give you roughly 300-400 megabytes per movie. Not exactly decent quality.
P.s. Shows have many more hours of video than films. That is likely where more storage is required. Someone might watch 9 hours of a trilogy, but they might watch 12 hours of one season of a show. And people like shows more than movies (at least on a per hour spent watching media basis). Start tossing in shows with the movies, and you are soaring WAY WAY WAY past 15TB. But that is neither here nor there and the NSA has enough storage space to store all entertainment media ever produced, I imagine.
ok ok fine
make it 30TB
its only a passing comment anyhow
BUUUUT
if you were an apocalyptic enthusiast ....
whats about 30TB nowadays
4tb @ $99 each x 10 =40TB for $1100 after tax ish
thats SO realistic to do tho,....,.,.,.,.,
hell, you could do that one ONE mobo....

im really feeling buying a few acres of land and building a bunker...
If it really did end, which I doubt, it just means they will double their efforts in hoarding data from the internet.
