That slide was about the NSA sitting inside Google data centers without Google's knowledge.

That doesn't mean collusion

That's the thing though: We can't know that.

  • Well, we kind of can, given that "SSL added and removed here :-)" was a pretty explicit workaround to the issue of encrypted communications in Google's infrastructure, just not between sites (IIRC).

    Either way, if they were directly colluding with Google, they would have had a much simpler time siphoning off that data.
