So, tell me - did Google start encrypting so many services just to give the NSA a better excuse for siphoning all data, including SSL encrypted communication, E-Mails etc.?
- zhemao 13y agoGoogle stores an unencrypted copy on their servers, so the NSA would just get it from them. No need to store the encrypted copy for perpetuity.
- lazyjones 13y agoYes, but since the user encrypted it, he's suspicious and more likely to be snooped on, right? So by enforcing encryption, Google helped get the NSA an excuse to grab data (even the unencrypted copy) in more cases.
