Aside from the indignation, I'd like to see proof that Google wasn't aware of this stuff. My guess is that it was approved as long as there was plausible deniability.

What proof would satisfy you? It seems like you're asking for something impossible to provide.

  • I'd need to see proof that the exploit (and operation to support it) was so sophisticated that Google reasonably could not have known.

    Since Google has been complicit in a good portion of Snowden's revelations, the burden of proof is on Google to satisfy its customers that it in fact drew the line at the earlier revealed level of complicity rather than the most recent one.
