I wonder if, supposing a legit war use, those tools would work. Maybe in taking down some enemy tech infra, but on collecting information, i really have doubts. That would be too much data to process unless they had specific targets. Human intelligence would be much more effective.
Anyway, I remember a story of a US submarine that hacked soviet cables in the 70s or 80s.
More, being those tools not effective, development and maintenance is stupid spending, and certainly the tools are having other uses.
My conspiracy side looks at CIA like a public sector (state owned) company in Brazil: they are not owned by the government, but by the chaste of unionized workers that work there.
I would suspect that at a time of war, especially in the first few months, there is a lot of tactical info to be collected from whatsapp and Facebook conversations between people and their families ("I'm going to be busy tonight with an operation, but I promise I'll call when I'm back, love"). Whether this can be efficiently processed is a different question, which I believe google can answer affirmatively, and likely also palantir and some TLAs
