Tangent, but: giant NSA data centers are such a red herring. The inevitable outcome is one of two things:<p>1. We&#x27;ve been missing something fundamental about computer science for many decades and all the encryption we use everywhere is going to be broken.<p>2. Everything is going to be unbreakably encrypted by default and no data center any country can build will ever so much as recover a single emoji from a single IM.<p>Again: don&#x27;t think about the status quo; think about 15-20 years from now.
