Phew, glad the NSA doesn't have any large scale storage. Big relief. By the way, what do they use their $10 billion AWS contract for?

I know it's not storing every email, phone call, photo, and video ever transmitted on the internet, like certain people want you to believe.

A $10b AWS contract would not even amount to enough storage to keep one copy of the public web.

I'm fairly sure the budget of archive.is is less than $10B. (Admittedly they don't store videos though.)

Very confidently incorrect.

If you think 100,000 square feet is a large data center, you obviously do not work in the industry.

Ad hominem much?
