i remember at least one foia request to reveal what ties google to the nsa a couple of years back that was shut down. i also remember that when google first released gmail, everyone knew that google is profiling your emails.

now that the nsa has become the official strawman, google has automatically become the good guy. i don't get it

Probably because Google's scanning your emails is all done with algorihms and for the purposes of selling ads. The NSA's spying program has a lot more foul connotations and possibilities.
