The real estate part is, the rest isn't.
And without the financial incentive the benefit becomes unclear. Presumably spying, but you're either hoping to randomly get a high profile target or needing to trawl through a truly massive amount of data for some unknown potential benefit.
There are better methods of individual targeting and mass surveillance available to the state.
- throwaway290 3y agoMass surveillance running real-time face and gait recognition from millions of cctvs is where massive data is. But that surveillance won't tell you who's e2e messaging journalists, you gotta get into the device for that. Physically getting a hold of the phone is hard and NSO won't sell you Pegasus. Moreover you don't even know who are the "bad guys" with inconvenient opinions to start with. But set up a juice jacker and targets come to you. If you get a few dissidents and their contacts, a few of the wrong religion, a handful of your regular civilians who are traveling abroad and can be blackmailed into spying with spicy photos from the hidden folder. Small amounts of data and much boost for your hot career as a despicable dictator.
