The NSA has something like the 5th or 6th largest data center in existance, its been around for about a decade, in Utah.
They just capture everything, they have wiretaps on all the trunk lines that feed into undersea cables going international, they work with every major ISP, basically every major city in the US has a building where there are a bunch of floors for major ISPs/TelComms, and a bunch of floors for DHS, FBI, NSA, (Not the) CIA, etc, where those trunk lines come in.
For over a decade now, the problem is that they have so much data that they don’t know what to do with it, how to search through efficiently.
Or, well, that was their problem.
Enter Palantir, whose intial early whole thing as a company was developing ways to prioritizes and rapidly search through astounding amounts of data.
