saying they don't cooparate with NSA.
The same week we were provided documents signed by NSA/CIA officials claiming that Google is not even forced to do it, they provided extra interface for NSA so they can grab data whenever they want:

Question: why should I trust what you say?
- dTal 10y agoHmm, but Larry Page is specifically addressing PRISM. And your Wired link agrees with him. And from what I remember, it wasn't so much "documents signed by NSA/CIA officials" as "an internal powerpoint slide". Didn't the NSA hack Google's own internal fiber? Why would they need to do that if they had the keys to the kingdom anyway?

Yes, google started encrypting the intra-datacenter traffic once it learned what the NSA was doing.
- sbw1 10y agoYour techtimes link doesn't have anything about Arab countries (or Clinton for that matter), the only fact in there is that Google and others were invited to an NSA talk about "security" in 2011.
