Comment on Just a hunch that most social media platforms run off government servers
squashkin@wolfballs.com 2 years agoI am perhaps not communicating my point correctly or something.
There is more content being generated than they have the manpower to go through. I do not doubt they can retrieve stuff or sort through it. But they are unable to look at all of it. It seems like too much. But perhaps they have enough power to only look at a few people of interest.

They will be limited in how many targets they can process. Snowden revealed 2 degrees at the time. So if a person interacts with 100 people over a year, that is upto 10,000 people to investigate for one person of interest. That's a lot of manhours for a single target. Likely that's the worst case, and they must also have ways to triage.
But you are right, they cannot spy on ALL of us, or even a significant number. Too much shit, lol

Snowden was most likely a Russian asset.
