Are we thinking about the same Google here? One of the first companies to release transparency reports about world-wide government requests and continues doing so? One of the ones leading the movement against mass user data collection including a protest 'doodle' that was seen by the millions and millions of page visitors to attract attention on the matter and wrongdoing of not only the US government, but others doing the same. I could keep going but do you mean that one? Where did you hear Google is doing this, same place you heard Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Yahoo, and others are? I'm pretty sure we're beyond screwed if we just believe some 'reports' that are no more than assumptions I've read thus far. There's a difference between government snooping and companies giving backdoor access.
