what would they have done with that information except make it public? Sit on it, and rightfully be accused of witholding information? Pass it to the companies they know can keep a secret, which, when people find out, will really blow their minds: “The government is sharing secrets with companies but not the American people.”

…kept it under wraps for a set period of time before the announcement is made, in order to allow the chance to fix servers before the bug is publicly announced, just like all the other companies that Google did tell?
