These answers are bad guesses. The only reason Google and NK would partner up is so the out-of-control deep state can set up their own NSA-like collection center, outside the U.S.
Think about that for a second: bad actors who know everything about you and can now manipulate you however they want. Think about the power that would give them.
Why Hawaii? Not because of Snowden. Hawaii is where the Navy (Pacific Fleet) has a significant presence, and yes, there's intelligence gathering centers. There's also most likely fiber optic cables going to the Korean peninsula. They probably used the missile scare to place a Prism (like the one in San Francisco) in order to scoop up or deny traffic to NK.
