Google, NSA talk defense partnership
by Steven Musil
Google is finalizing an agreement with the National Security Agency to help the search giant ward off cyberattacks, according to the Washington Post.
The electronic surveillance organization is expected to help analyze a cyberattack on Google that the company said originated in China, so that the company can better defend itself against future attacks, the newspaper reported Wednesday. The arrangement is reportedly being designed to allow the two groups to share information without violating Google’s privacy policies or laws governing online communications.
Google declined to comment on the report.
The NSA said it works with a variety of partners but would not comment on whether Google is one of those partners.

If you currently use google, do you really want them in Bed with NSA (National Security Agency) What kind of info will NSA have access to?
Then again, who know how much info sights such as google, facebook, and other are already giving up.
I think google should be forced to disclose what information NSA will have access to in order to protect them from (PROBLEM, REACTION, SOLUTION) the evil cyber terrorists.
