Google to use PGP to encrypt their email service

This may be bound to drive you crazy or make you proud when they are planning to encrypt their email service, Gmail, against the on-going cyber-spying but what about the data collection for advertisement? The offense from Google is still there ever since a few years ago and at that time, Microsoft was already bashing on Google for all sorts of privacy invasion on Google's accords. The campaign on bashing on Google ended this year as it was controversial back then when it first started. When it was controversial back then, it looked like people didn't seem to care about how their data was collected by Google for unknown purposes but starting from June last year, it seemed that people had the realization that their privacy was already invaded all along as if their emails from Gmail service were collected without consent. Even if that campaign ended and Google is planning to encrypt Gmail in the future, we still can't trust the Google Plus, Android and other Google products probably due to lack of security, and Android is seriously sensitive and Google Plus is some privacy invader service nobody uses.
The next thing to encrypt will be Android OS itself as well as the web browser, Chrome OS, Google Drive and Blogger instead of that useless Google Plus anyway.
