Considering this analysis was orginally made in 1978 – I have to imagine that the ‘surveillance’ cost has gone down significantly. Meta has a marketcap of 1.6T, so just purchasing it outright would turn the cost into a revenue stream with time to profitability of 6 years!

They could finance part of the operation by mining crypto and using the waste heat to warm up those North pole houses. And if the elves have time off-season, there are both fish and minerals below the ice to extract and sell.
