And Google became a PRISM partner in 2009, as the slides here from the Snowden collection prove:

Read those slides more carefully: they say that collection from Google began on 1/14/09, not that Google became a willful partner of the PRISM program.

As the previous links from STRATFOR etc. prove, Google is deeply embedded in the security/intelligence apparatus. That part is definitely willing and beneficial to both parties. Of course, they're going to make changes and issue statements to the contrary regarding PRISM, because that would lose them customers.
This is also an interesting read, albeit a bit long: https://wikileaks.org/google-is-not-what-it-seems/
Google continues to coast on the goodwill of its "don't be evil" doublespeak, as Mr. Assange puts it. There's no reason to trust them now.

You've presented no proof whatsoever. All you've done is make unsubstantiated allegations.
there are links on that page that point out multiple e-mails from the STRATFOR leaks and other files that point to Google being deeply embedded with the U.S. security apparatus.
