    You push one message to get public funds for the infrastructure. Then you push another message to get people to switch and become reliant on said infrastructure. Then you have control and the message doesn’t matter. The data centers are literally going to be surveillance hubs for whoever pays money for the access. We don’t need 30 data centers for image generation for your business presentations or the Siri to navigate LA for you. It’s for the big shit like facial recognition and data crunching using every citizens personal information.
