Eric Schmidt: To Avoid NSA Spying, Keep Your Data In Google's Services

jfruh writes Google Chairman Eric Schmidt told a conference on surveillance at the Cato Institute that Edward Snowden's revelations on NSA spying shocked the company's engineers — who then immediately started working on making the company's servers and services more secure. Now, after a year and a half of work, Schmidt says that Google's services are the safest place to store your sensitive data.

    I was wondering what I could do to keep the NSA from spying on me. I'm glad that Google has it figured out. Time to upload all of the documents I have stored locally on my desktop to the Google servers so that they can keep a watchful eye on them. I was worried that this was going to be hard and require a lot of dilligence.

    I'm going to tell my boss that we need to move away from all of these Microsoft products to and only use Google cloud services for security.

    Yes. Scientologists dropping out of the ceiling and stealing one's data. We have to have a protocol to deal with this. Meeting in my office in one hour...
