Just because your client is in Switzerland and your data center is in Germany, doesn’t mean a data center in Virginia doesn’t have a copy.
That was 14 years ago…
We have MUCH more capabilities today.

The datacenter is in Utah, not Virginia.

That’s cold storage
Right, where the copies are stored.
It's referring to us-east-1
Sure, but the specific NSA datacenter that stores copies of every piece of data that transits the internet is in Utah, not Virginia.
Do you have a single actual source for anything you’re saying about this happening today?
I’m well aware of the historical surveillance programs. I’m asking for a source for all of your claims about what’s happening today regarding 80% of internet traffic.
That claim makes no sense in today's world. For over a decade, the likes of Youtube, Netflix and short form video make the majority of throughput. Why in the world would anyone want to monitor known catalogs of content? Most of which are delivered by POPs in data centers distributed all over the world.

As for traffic, I can’t cite numbers, you’ll just have to trust me when I say it. I can’t give you packet breakdown or IP4 vs IP6. To have that discussion requires a secret clearance at least.
Let’s be serious for a minute here. If you’re claiming to have secret clearance on an Internet forum, you don’t.

You have clearance enough to imply that these things are going on but not enough to actually prove anything? Surely the requirements of your clearance would come with some basic terms like "don't use winks and nudges to implicate us in vast conspiracies on public forums," or the far more simple "don't mention this to anyone."
