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.

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.

The NSA actually uses Linux.

They even contributed to it. They also collaborated with RedHead and develope something called SELinux which is a pretty sophisticated permission management tool.

There are backdoors built into most manufacturer’s motherboards nowadays iirc

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.
