Why would Google change because of the Snowden Leaks? They knew about it. They were handing over data to the NSA.

There was some spying by the NSA without their knowledge or consent. Network traffic between their internal networks wasn't encrypted, which enabled snooping.

IIRC they didn't know about the tap on their international cable and the leaks caused them to prioritize the encryption of traffic on their internal network. Not sure about anything else though.
