I was thinking of just the USA.

However, the world would be within the sights of those who crave power.

Another article says world data is growing exponentially and will reach roughly 3/4 a zettabyte annually. However, since a single yottabyte is 1000 years of zettabytes, and since the facility is to have “yottabytes plural” in capacity, one really has to recognize the capacity to store everything, but only search for those things that are of interest.

Why have that much capacity without some desire to use it and to search it?

The Question of the Day for sure. Clearly the plan is to use it. But I'm betting the target is not you and me. There are plenty of bad guys out there with data to collect so I'm hoping they are the focus.

A valid point.
