I'm gonna call bullshit based on the story by Snowden in his biography about his Boomer co-worker who was in charge of maintaining a tape drive that recorded all incoming communications from field agents as a backup
If I remember correctly, he said it was definitely not a modern tape drive, which is why an older man was maintaining it
It's more modern than what's being talked about in the article. Snowden knew his stuff, that doesn't mean he knew what the old guy with the tape was doing tech wise.
Whatever you say man lmao clearly you didn't read the book and are just making generalizations
Yeah, I'm not going to be reading that any time soon.
