google does this ALL the time. you just don’t read about it in the press. for example, they encrypt the inter-data center links. for which they own the fiber. they do all kinds of stuff like that and are always doing new things. of course they don’t go 100% and encrypt email or docs but still they go to quite far lengths as long as it is within scope of their business model. (same as apple)

other companies do this kind of thing also. again, they just aren’t in the news cycle.

then there’s yahoo.

Google covering their _own_ ass and encrypting their internal data at-rest and over-the-wire has nothing to do with their approach to mobile device security. Any company worth their salt will encrypt traffic that transits any untrusted network after Snowden's revelations.

This has been well covered in the press as part of the NSA story. To the extent that the belief Apple getting more coverage is true, it’s because most people know tech companies protect themselves but Apple’s moves affect millions of people who otherwise would not have the resources to do so.
