But I think this more then anything shows why the US should not be regarded a country with adequate level of data protection. I would honestly just assume that they force Google to record every single meeting between heads of states or meetings with companies that work in telecom or weapon systems. Even the most boring meeting with officials in some small municipality can probably be valuable information about infrastructure and how it's going to be protected and these are maybe the most unsuspecting because they think "why would anybody care about the water distribution in our small city".

It's speculation on my part because it's kept secret, but all journalists in Denmark more or less agree that he is held for leaking information on the NSA partnership and two other stories involving the intelligence agencies (one about an agent being left in jail in Spain and one about a withheld security assesment of refugees held in camps in Syria). This is based on which journalists got interrogated and what stories they have brought to light
