(5,113 posts)that CIA already believes is "guilty". We are talking a vast amount of data that is growing every day about everyone. It has to be processed to give meaningful results because they don't know who else is guilty. Entire idea of this project is to identify the potential threat, not to confirm an existing belief.
Also, remember few years ago there were a lot of child porn convictions in UK based on incomplete and incorrectly processed computer data. They we overturned later because data was false. A lot will depend of course on the level of experts one can attain, I don't dispute it. I dispute the initial premiss that CIA knows everything about any given individual because the managed to store some data somewhere.
BTW, I am not even going to discuss the actual data storage and backup. It's topic better left alone.
Don't take my word for it, do some research. You will soon realise that it's all not what we think it is.
Another topic I am not even going into is updating your version of database from v1.0 to v.something else. Just lets not go into discussion of what can and will happen to your data. Never mind if you decide to change databases from one company to another.
