如果政府、谷歌、微软、广告商等都在追踪和存档
If governments, Google, Microsoft, advertisers, etc are all tracking and archiving our data all the time, how are they able to store it all? Seems like a ton of information especially if they make backups of it all.

（顺便说一句，很久以前，旧互联网上有一个都市传说，一个人发明了一种比 zip 更高效的压缩算法，比如能够将 CDROM 压缩到软盘上，但那个人已经消失了，而美国政府是唯一使用这项秘密技术的人。）
