Google did no such thing. What Snowden revealed was that the NSA knew at that time the SSL connections from a user to Google were terminated at the GFE, and all the traffic between Google data centers were in cleartext. That includes, for example, a request from an application to store some user data in a database or storage system, or the replication between data centers of user data for redundancy purposes. NSA then wiretapped these communication links.
