So who is monitoring this flow of information and where in the h*ll are the memory banks? They must be the size of small towns.
Probably the same people who are looting the treasury.
They are everywhere. Look for intersections of power and transportation networks (optical fiber is installed on both power lines and RR rights of way). The data centers need huge amounts of power. They are the nondescript but huge buildings with no windows or signs on them and high security surrounding them. They are everywhere.
You don’t have to save all of it, depending on the value of the information. Where I’ve been and my passwords aren’t of much value...but for specific other people, the value could be very high. The point is that they’re getting this information without any permission or knowledge of the user, and that is an invitation to “be evil”.
No Such Agency ;)
