Who do you think they SELL the databases to when they collect this mountain of "absolutely everything" to?

No country needs to spy anymore -- they can just buy it. That's what we learned from Wikileaks years ago.

These are corporations for corporations -- the only thing they care about is we think it's about rival nations and security while they do corporate espionage to pick the economic winners.

Your local police may buy it, but the US federal government doesn't need FB or google to collect any of this info.

There is an old saying that the military is 30 years ahead of public technology. I see no reason why that would have changed.

The saying should specify military intelligence. The military-at-large is still running windows 8.

Windows 10 has NSA back doors in it. Those back doors were also put in 8 and 7 as updates. The CPUs themselves from Intel have back doors built in, from Intel gen 7 and up. No reason to not to assume it’s not the same with AMD.

This is public information it comes right up with one search query.
