Michael from Muckrock sez, “The Wall Street Journal reported today that the National Security Agency’s massive data storage center in Bluffdale, Utah has melted down at least 10 times in the past 13 months. While many details regarding the center are classified, MuckRock has been doggedly pursuing documents that pry open its operational details, including its electrical bill.”
But the NSA has put up a road block, asking for $291 for information on controversial tax breaks the agency got for its data center. We’re trying to crowdfund those fees (we cut them a check for $300 a month ago) so that we can keep digging into what the NSA has been up to.
(Thanks, Michael!)
