The sheer unimaginable quantity of data–even that remaining - TopicsExpress



          

The sheer unimaginable quantity of data–even that remaining after repeated machine sorting–means that large numbers of individuals must be given pretty comprehensive access or nothing useful can even conceivably be done with it. You can’t have a pile of countless petabytes of data–or even the derived product of that data– and only a few dozen humans with full perms to access it. Nothing would get done. So, the secrecy is always tenuous, always likely under some sort of breach, one principled Snowden out of thousands away from another public airing. This can’t work as advertised as counter-terrorism. It just can’t. What are the odds this is just like J. Edgar’s warehoused file cabinets–just a huge mineable collection of dirt to use for blackmail, intimidation and political fixing? Because *that* it might actually be useful for.
