This is bullshit: "if Google's products were secure out of the box, journalists would not need to "take a couple hours" to learn to protect their data and communications." Sure they would. It's a corporation, not your best friend. If you don't want your data to be available to government, you can either try and influence the law, or do exactly what they are advising: encrypt your shit so that the Man needs a computer consisting of every molecule in the Universe to break it in your lifetime.
