Comment on We Spied on Trump's 'Southern White House' From Our Couches | Tracking people in-and-out of Mar-a-Lago was easy, thanks to commercial software. Think your privacy is any better protected?
For one thing, this doesn’t cost a dime.
Yes it does. What crazy makes you think any of this was free?
Okay, it does say “commercial software.” How much do you think that could possibly cost? Anywhere near as much as a private investigator would?
You wanna guess how much I spent for a small 250 person company on just log storage? Don’t include labor, just the storage.
Is that relevant? Tracking people coming in and out of a building doesn’t require the same amount of storage as a 250-person company or anywhere near it. You could probably store it all on a 1 TB drive. It’s not like these are 8k images.
