[citation][nom]thecolorblue[/nom]gotta crush ignorance whenever i see it"Given the facility’s scale and the fact that a terabyte of data can now be stored on a flash drive the size of a man’s pinky, the potential amount of information that could be housed in Bluffdale is truly staggering. But so is the exponential growth in the amount of intelligence data being produced every day by the eavesdropping sensors of the NSA and other intelligence agencies. As a result of this “expanding array of theater airborne and other sensor networks,” as a 2007 Department of Defense report puts it, the Pentagon is attempting to expand its worldwide communications network, known as the Global Information Grid, to handle yottabytes (1024 bytes) of data. (A yottabyte is a septillion bytes—so large that no one has yet coined a term for the next higher magnitude.)"from article linked in my previous post... and if you bother to read the article you'll notice the other article about DHS involvement

Watching what I do online doesn't bother me in the least, because I know that everything I do online lives forever, just ask Bill Gates. There is a huge difference between actual privacy, and online privacy. Saying I am ignorant, and telling me to delete my account is as immature as thinking this type of system is made to watch normal people.
Terrorists are real, there are evil people in the world and they are very good at pretending to be good until the most opportune moment arises. If you have a HUGE pool of data built up over a long period of time, changing someone's digital life would not be possible. That is what this type of system is for, not for watching you torrent dvd's and stream redtube.
Linking me an article from Wired stating that the government is making a data center (true) to spy on everyone (conjecture) doesn't mean anything. It sells clicks / magazines, that's why it was published, not because its True. AT&T/Sprint/Verizon are all in a much better position that the Government to setup the type of data center you describe. If all of the information in the world were to suddenly be rerouted to a data center in Utah, people would notice. If all the information in the world were to travel to any of the above providers networks, it would be business as usual, since all the information in the world already travels across their networks and stems from their users endpoints.
It sounds like tinfoil hat's aren't enough for you, maybe you need to walk away from the computer and go live in a bunker awaiting the apocalypse.
. I guess I'll blame it on being too early in the morning.
