Encryption is not a solution to the problem. The attack on Google shows that NSA/GCHQ that companies in Western countries and their employees are legitimate targets for covert operations by their intelligence services (same for the BND attacks on 1&1 and other German ISPs, we don't have to single out the Obama administration or the British here).
