Google is a long-time NSA collaborator. The risks of what they could share with them should always be scrutinized.


I don't think collaborator is a good term here, it is implying they are secretly giving up US citizens for some evil nefarious purposes to the government. I'd label them as a US based company that is complying with US law.


A distinction without a difference?


Germany is a long time NSA collaborator. If Europeans wanted to they could handle intelligence themselves they could, they don't want to.


This. People forget global intels are collaborating in many forms.
