To n0nsensical:
They were protecting their company in both situations.
In the first one, they protectied their company by making it harder to start lawsuits against them.
In the second one, thney protected their company by ensuring that the "secret code" google uses for it's search engines isn't sent out to the government and leaked or something. Also, they are protect their money because it makes users trust them and use their services even more, while if they gave in to the government's prying, their profits would go down because of peoples' paranoia.
Still, this doesn't mean google is an "evil company". Just because they are trying not to go bankrupt from lawsuits doesn't mean that they don't "side" with users.
