I mean the same reason we don't have the full Epstein files for one? They just don't care until they have to. But also just because they aren't prosecuting shit right now doesn't mean they aren't collecting all that data to feed into their latest shitty chatbotm
Feds: "CIA Alexa, show me the users who downloaded illegal things."
CIA Alexa: "Yes daddy."
(I assume Chatbotm is a submissive bottom in responses.)
Then it just picks random people and puts them on a list because its shitty and fed off of Reddit nonsense.
Talking about the propensity of the current (US mostly but other places too) administration to just hoard data and rely on shitty 'AI' tools to compile and sort through it/analyze it. Idk apparently I was misinformed about the extent to which TOR is actually compromised though.
I don't know what you're asking. They do it for the same reason Apple or Google or whoever steals all your data and hoards it. Because knowledge is power and on the internet data has become synonymous with knowledge so they think they're gaining an upper hand. Think about it, Facebook had a facial recognition thing like 10 whole fucking years ago that would scan your photos and guess who was in your pictures. The US government definitely has more sophisticated tools than that and all the storage space they'd need. LLMs have just given them the ability to process all that data they've collected on everyone.
