It likely isn't. Mostly likely it is what I have been saying. Control is just using borg tec for its own ends.

If they're smart, they will leave Control/Borg plotline dangling. Never giving a definitive answer one way or the other.
Which means this is the creation point of the Borg.
While I dislike "mystery box" writing, the Borg are basically a visceral horror concept ported into a science fiction world. Fear of mutilation, loss of control and autonomy, etc. Our limited knowledge of them is one reason why they worked pretty well the first few times they were shown in TNG, but when TNG tried to "humanize" them with Hugh for a moral quadrant, it was pretty terrible. And it got even worse the more and more that Voyager focused on them. Hell, Enterprise's single foray into the Borg was actually really effective because they treated that episode as a horror story.
Is S31 100 years more advanced with Nanites than Starfleet?
I actually thought the Borg were pretty much the high point of Voyager. Yeah, they overused them, but the stories were solidly entertaining.
I mean, it was interesting exploring Seven's identity. But their attempts to flesh out the Borg robbed them of any of their menace, making them just another random-ass antagonist species.
They did the same thing with Species 8472 come to think of it. Introduced a new, extremely alien baddie out to destroy all life as we know it. Then a bit later, they show a station where they're all impersonating humans, and we find out they're totally indistinguishable from us in terms of personality.
I wouldn’t put it past them to hypocritically complain about future incursion threats before turning around and use salvaged future tech at every opportunity.
I mean the Stargate Replicators.
Oh! Got it. I've never seen Stargate. Well, actually no. A few episodes when I was in college, but nothing since. So it's been a while.
I suppose there may have been residual borg nanoprobes in the Arctic. Maybe they used them when building control.
Unfortunately they did this by pretending Star Trek = Galaxy Quest and then got stuck on trying to one-up Wrath of Khan, there by reaching a nadir in barely 3 movies worth of time. So what took originally 800 eps and 10 movies to do, Abrams and pals managed to accopmlish in just 6 hours. Props for efficiency, though.
Seems that two heaping piles of ashes was just enough to get CBS off its ass, so I guess it wasn't all for naught
Its not hypocrisy. It just following through on their mandate.
Hasn't the CIA always had more advanced tech than what's being used outside of it? "I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you."
Starfleet had access to the borg nanoprobes in the Ent era due to the Sphere crashing in first contact then being partly recovered.
No doubt section 31 has access to all those files.
Once again, if Control really extinguishes all sentient life in the galaxy, that is inclusive of the Borg. Unless every single bit of Borg tech is vaporized before Control studies it, FutureControl would have access to nanoprobes as a result.
From the same episode - how do Romulans travel at FTL speeds when their power is "Simple Impulse"?
Why does everyone think that TOS takes place in the 23rd century when both TOS S1 "Space Seed" and "Tomorrow is Yesterday" show it takes place in the 22nd century and "Squire of Gothos" shows it takes place in the 28th century?
Get over the small continuity errors that have been a part of EVERY Star Trek series.
Except we now live in an era of binge watching and rewatching. Continuity should mean more than ever, yet the writers act like it's still 1966 and we'll never notice.
