That NSA datacenter in Utah is probably at what, a few hundred exabytes of capacity now? They should make themselves useful for once and repopulate all the dead images they've certainly collected over the past few decades.
I wouldn't be surprised if the NSA datacenter has only a fraction of the claimed capacity and they used the secrecy to embezzle funds on top of the overpaid contracts to Quislings. Because that is what authoritarians do to buy loyalty.
After all their nominal function is to prevent terrorism by sorting through needle stacks many months after the fact. Failure just means more chances to attack encryption again!
Hah. I am torn between what I hope to be more true.
This is the problem of the shitweb. Shitweb being a concern from law enforcement agencies regarding the difficulties to capture and analyze internet activities that are buried in pictures with text, video, hyperlocal cultural language (think l33tspeak) and temporal communications. The size of the datacentre likely won't help much.
