This has been known about for ages and was part of the Snowden leaks: https://www.google.com/search?q=google+nsa+%22encryption+add...

Everything I've read from the Snowden docs indicates traffic is intercepted over big pipes on backbones or at Internet Exchanges.
The parent poster was suggesting (and I was questioning) this occurred at Google Data Centers, which would prove explicit cooperation by Google.
A whole different ballgame.
The closest I've seen are the PRISM slides which imply cooperation from Google and the other big companies, but this could be bad choice of wording.

No, this one was on the Google 'Front End Servers': http://www.japantimes.co.jp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nc201...
Regarding PRISM cooperation, I'm not sure where your doubt is coming from there. http://imgur.com/a/wRKtL
The slide was explicit, and is now many years out of date so without doubt the number of providers has increased. The means by which these provider agreements are reached is well known (National Security Letters) as is the fact that organizations are fully barred from disclosing their existence.

It was fiber taps between Google Datacenters overseas. The implication being that if your location history, emails, photos, secret diary, or what have you is transferred overseas at any point then you automatically have no more rights to privacy than a suspected terrorist.
Likewise, [citation needed]. That would be pretty stunning, if true.
