> When the Snowden leaks came out it was a surprise to Google that the government had tapped the data center to data center connections

I guess I haven't been keeping up, but I did not know this.

Can you point me to a short documentary or document where I can learn more about what Google says it didn't know?

Google started encrypting communications across its data centers (even though they were on private lines) because of this revelation. Here’s a news report from 2013 [1] about this.
