what are you talking about?
the suggestion in these posts is that the German cops made them do it, which is exactly what happens to every provider in every country - they get a subpoena, they may fight it, if they lose they do whatever it is. every hosting (and transit and peering, I assume) provider in every country has an elaborate "lawful intercept" system already set up for secretly copying traffic to the feds / cops / intelligence services.
a hijacking of said LI system is what caused a huge scandal / deaths in greece ~twenty years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_wiretapping_case_2004–05

do we know cases of silent wiretapping in Google, MS, Amazon clouds?
Absence of proof isn't proof of absence.
Do we know cases of Google/MS/Amazon fighting a targeted wiretapping subpoena and winning it? Do you think they would not have been served one?

absence of proof is a proof that your statement about "any company in any country" is just speculation without much ground.

we know somehow similar case for Apple: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple%E2%80%93FBI_encryption_d...
