      It’s the AT&T Long Lines Building. It’s pretty likely the NSA did their surveillance of the international calls (and a lot more) there.

    It’s actually an NSA listening installation named TITANPOINTE.

    Right across Broadway is also the NYC FBI office.

    Source: I lived a block away. It was fun making my WiFi network “TITANPOINTE- 5G-300%-POWER” during the pandemic.

    Is that one of the elevator testing facilities Otis and Thyssen-Krupp operate? Those are tall and windowless as well since they’re just to test elevator models

    That’s the AT&T Long Lines building, it is just a building full of servers and phone lines.

    The NSA have an office there and would tap lines they deemed suspicious since most calls across the country were routed through it.

      And now it’s suspected of housing their mega-computers for illegal mass surveillance. The building is supposedly built to withstand nuclear attack. It’s a building built for machines, and an example of brutalist architecture.

    How do they survey you without windows though? Do you think they use Linux?

        Intel Management Engine is also noted to be a backdoor, which is in the CPU itself.

        The Purism laptop disables IME, or at least tries to from what I understand.

    How could it be for surveillance if they can’t even see outside the building? 🤷🏻‍♂️
