Try again. There is still zero evidence Google did anything other than comply with requests for individually reviewed pieces of data, and did not engineer anything to permit firehose dragnets.

If the NSA is getting any kind of dragnet data, most likely it is via external network taps, intercepting non-encrypted SMTP traffic, or non-encrypted intra-datacenter fiber traffic the same way they tapped 'dark fiber' undersea cables of the Soviet Union during Venona.

Google cares very much for user privacy, it is part of the corporate culture.
