Google is not alone with this kind of user data export feature. And just because systems like PRISM are in use, doesn't render data export for specific users useless: PRISM might for example identify some users of specific interest. As a result, NSA might access all Google data in relation to this user in structured form. Legal interception ports in hardware and software have been known for years, they are mandatory in many countries. And while live surveillance can be important too, most results are gathered from structured user data and meta data. And in any case, why should the same work be done twice? Why should NSA do work that has already been done by Google etc.?
