That wasn't eavesdropping by Google. That was Google not using encrypted traffic on internal wires. And that changed a lot of years ago.

Yes, it was the US government eavesdropping for them without their consent, but the end result is basically the same.

Yes, that exact hole was patched, but the point is it wasn't the end of the world that great grandparent implied it would be.

Google Compute Engine didn't even exist at the time that slide was made, or at least was not publicly available. That slide was about government intercepting Google's traffic, not cloud customer traffic.

It was certainly smaller, but GCE was first publicly available in April/May 2013, Snowden leaked things in June 2013. I'm not quite sure when this slide was released but sometime after that.

Google moved to fix the problem after the start of the leaks. Pretty quickly (good for them), but after.

The slide was created long before Snowden leaked it, which is before GCE was publicly available. I said, "before the slide was made," not "before the slide was leaked."

I'm pretty sure RPC privacy boost was underway before the leaks. It was just launched more hurriedly after they came out.

I am pretty sure that this is a reference to cloudflare.
