CIA Chief Tech Officer: Big Data Is The Future And We Own It
Business Insider ^ | March 21, 2013 | Michael Kelley

On Wednesday, the CIA's chief technology officer detailed the Agency's vision for collecting and analyzing all of the information people put on the Internet.

The wide-ranging presentation at GigaOM's Structure:Data conference in New York City came two days after it was reported the spy agency is on the verge of signing a cloud computing contract with Amazon — worth up to $600 million over 10 years — that involves Amazon Web Services helping the CIA build a "private cloud" filled with technologies like big data.

… "You're already a walking sensor platform," Hunt said, referring to all of the information captured by smartphones. "You are aware of the fact that somebody can know where you are at all times because you carry a mobile device, even if that mobile device is turned off. You know this, I hope? Yes? Well, you should."

"You know this, I hope? Yes? Well, you should."

Thanks to Ira Hunt for that. He told us what the situation is and what we should know for personal privacy. The CIA works for and reports to our military forces, BTW.

Many of those of us who used the Internet during the ‘80s and ‘90s know that data sent was not private. Most of us didn’t have any problem with that then (military offices, universities, assorted nerds). If we want privacy while using the Net, we’ll have to work for that (lobbies, political information, speech, etc.).

In 1999 there was a video game called Deus Ex. Set in the future around 2050, it was a secret agent type game where you could be augmented with nanotechnology. The villians were almost every conspiracy group you've ever heard of, all trying to take over the world. While it was fantasy in 1999, it is amazingly creepy how over the years it keeps getting closer to the truth.

Nothing but a big BOAST. WHY? Back when 911 happened it was eventually learned that there was ample data existing regarding the perpetrators but that the CIA and the FBI were unable to see and know about it.

The REASON given at the time was that there was so much data available that it was somewhat IMPOSSIBLE to filter through ALL of it by anyone individually or collectively.

Judging the effectiveness of Government itself I doubt that paradigm has changed. It may have even worsened.

“They” have always also spied on us! They just used to make concerted attempts to keep that information very quiet.

Yes, but that was "retail" spying. This is "wholesale."

The leftwingtards overestimate the capacity of computers to associate relevant data ~ my own lebenteen hunert and 40 gazillion posts on FR give me and 57 members of the Saudi royal family all the cover we need!

"...the First Intelligence Community Comprehensive National Cyber-security Initiative Data Center. And it’s huge. One million square feet, all to be filled with more technology and data storage than you could imagine."

Dust off and nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

That's correct. They will choke on the data. This server farm by Amazon is nothing more than corporate welfare.

Sometimes I post obtuse replies where I presume too much.

The woman pictured is Jessica Alba. The picture was a promo shot from when she starred in a show called, ‘Dark Angel’ about 10 years ago. The show took place in a near-future United States during a time of near chaos and anarchy that followed the detonation of an EMP over New York City which “turned all the 1s to 0s.” (That is a reference to the binary system used in computer programming languages.)

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I especially appreciate the 7 bit ascii coded english language text, makes for easy reading.
