   @cell what is fun to me is that the NSA documents didn't flat out say that the location was an NSA spying center. But people found multiple NSA employee travel guides that had little details that all added up to fingering the building. They also say fun stuff like "don't show your NSA badge at the building" and "don't use your own car or agency car when visiting, rent a car".

     @sun i think what makes this interesting to me personally is just that they were willing to stick this right in the middle of a major metropolis (that is liable to be nuked too) in plain sight
     
     iirc other countries bundle their telco exchanges/glowie monitoring spots all in some rural area near borders or seas or in the middle of nowhere but here it’s like there in new york passed by everyone

     @sun what differentiates this at least from your usual windowless datacenter cubic monolith?

     @cell A bunch of its inner workings were revealed by the Snowden leaks.

     The Why Files is a conspiracy/supernatural channel but it has the best video on the secret NSA spying hub in New York City that I've seen yet.
