While I freely admit that I use a lot of Google services, have an Android phone, and so on... I can't fathom why anyone would think it's a good idea to buy security hardware from an advertising company.
Because it is an extremely high-value target that has proven capable of defending itself from numerous sophisticated attacks, and it has a vested interest in keeping its users and customers secure as well.
Is anyone actually taking this serious? As if all other countries are any better.
Uh, German data protection laws, yadda yadda - they didn't stop the police from raiding several activist non profit organizations a couple of months ago, with no repercussions.
The "US jurisdiction"-line is just tiresome and weak. Show me the country that guards user data that isn't part of 5 eyes and where attempts of the state to gain access to said data is actually penalized.
Because they're paying top dollar to some of the brightest people in security right now?
Because they're a high value target that uses their own products in their fleet?
Because they've shown that they care about security and were willing to step up their game to achieve it?
Because they routinely share their expertise in form of either open source contributions or scientific papers?
