I agree with GP on this one. When I look at a slide listing "Current Efforts - Google" which is marked TOP SECRET/SI/NOFORN, saying "SSL added and removed here :)" alongside "Traffic in clear text here" it doesn't indicate to me that they're interested in figuring out how does proxy work as much as it makes me think they're looking where to tap into that juice unencrypted data. Also, Google seems to have believed that this was what that meant, and they rolled out encryption in response: > "We have long been concerned about the possibility of this kind of snooping, which is why we have continued to extend encryption across more and more Google services and links, especially the links in the slide," Drummond said in a statement. > "We are outraged at the lengths to which the government seems to have gone to intercept data from our private fibre networks, and it underscores the need for urgent reform." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-24751821 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-24751821
