What is the name of the huge building complex that records our every pc post?

Asked by Aster (20028points) June 6th, 2013

I was surfing lately and found an enormous American building complex with an also huge parking lot. The caption said this is where every single computer post each human being ever makes is recorded for posterity=or for other possibly less savory reasons. Have you heard of this place, what is it’s name and what are the alleged recordings of our posts really for?

Do you mean this? – new building in Utah that is owned by the NSA and saves everything we do or say? http://nsa.gov1.info/utah-data-center/

Or do you mean the ECHELON system, which is actually a combination of software and hardware snooping devices? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECHELON

It could be both working together,

Don’t forget that every post on Twitter is recorded by the Library of Congress.

If terrorists figure out how to use “Lolcats“http://forum.i3d.net/attachments/offtopic-english/943147141d1221752968-lolcat-conversation-thread-441249.jpg to communicate in secret codes the NSA will be totally fucked. Good luck sifting through the sewer of internet posts to find anything of value. And yes, this post will probably be flagged for a review by an analysts.

[TO THE JUNIOR LEVEL NSA ANALYST READING THIS] There seriously has to be a better way… If you’re looking for a needle in a haystack, the solution isn’t to add more hay.
