Two engineers close to Google exploded in profanity when they saw this sketch. This is a slide from an NSA presentation called "Google Exploitation" It depicts the point where "Public Internet" meets "Google Cloud," the point where all the juicy user data resides.

The Snowden revelations of NSA secretly breaking into the main connections linking Yahoo and Google (this is different from the sketch above) and intercepting emails, documents, and other electronic communications (that would be pictures) between companies has shocked representatives and intelligence officers and are inflaming the relationship between the Obama administration and American technology companies.
They say "likely to inflame" but I changed it for drama.

American companies.
They're driving business elsewhere. Entire nations are moving business elsewhere.
One place to go is a Chinese company Huawei.
Chinese, and it's the same thing all over again. It has to be and yet within the comments here at cableforeignpolicy a Huawei representative claims otherwise. I thought that was interesting that they would pop up like that in comments to an article and sell themselves with a good pitch, and have that pitch batted right down with a sharp rebuke attached to it, "Bull."

Some of the comments at the wapo link are interesting.
No Matter what kind of encryption devices are installed they will be useless. DARPA the NSA's advanced research projects division will hack into them as if it were child's play. DARPA recruits and employs as contractors Savants, those with high spectrum Autistic disorders such as Aspergers Syndrome who have for years been developing technology which is 15-30 years ahead of the private sector. DARPA by-passes Congressional approval and reports directly to the President. The President not only knows of these abuses, he approves them.
wtf?
The speed at which America has become a fascist state is utterly breathtaking. To not think we have fascist, dictatorial leadership is to deny the obvious.
I think the offended engineers at Google might consider venting their rage at their employers who, last time I looked, gave gobs & gobs of money & support to the guy who NSA now reports to (i.e. Obama).
It's amazing how the new tech billionaires want so desperately to be seen as moral individuals collapse like a house of cards when pressed by their Democratic buddies to do the wrong thing.
I might just be being nostalgic, but I can't imagine Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, or Larry Ellison being such pussies before the government as these guys.
Yahoo news is incredibly slanted and biased towards the party.
What do they care?
I saw the sketch and exploded in laughter. Umm GFE is Government Furnished Equipment. I also haven't seen much SSL on the Google side to be stripped away.
