Not sure if that's the best example, because by my understanding Google had taken immense efforts to fix this hole, and now always treats the network as if there's hostile actors on the line. It's pretty much a success story of a civilian company against the NSA.

(I make no comment about if the NSA has found other ways into Google or Google has willingly let them in, I do not know the answers to those questions)

That is an extremely naive viewpoint. When the NSA develops a capability they don't just sit around spinning in their office chairs until it stops working. There is constant development effort to ensure continued access to the information they need.

This comment would have been just as effective without the ad hominem to begin.
