There has been lots of discussion recently about DNSSEC issues, including 
whether it's desirable to sign internal zones. Independent of this most recent 
issue, a couple of weeks ago I did an informal survey, using DNSVIZ, of various 
TLDs. I found the following rather surprising results:

DNS-VIZ and "associates"

TLD             Signed? Comments
--------------  ------- --------
dnsviz.net      yes     with 1 warning (!)
iana.org        yes
icann.org       yes
isc.org         yes
arin.net        yes
ietf.org        yes     with many warnings & errors

sandia.gov      yes     with many warnings & 1 error
verisign.com    yes
dns-oarc.net    yes


Widely used and/or hi-tech

TLD             Signed? Comments
--------------  ------- --------
google.com      no
gmail.com       no
youtube.com     no
apple.com       no
microsoft.com   no
amazon.com      no
walmart.com     no
outlook.com     no
1e100.net       no
facebook.com    no
twitter.com     no
instagram.com   no
ibm.com         no
mozilla.org     no
wikipedia.org   no
redhat.com      no
w3c.org         no
bankofamerica.com no

Does anybody have an explanation for why such big domains don't bother using 
DNSSEC?


P.S.  My opinion is that it probably worthwhile to sign internal zones, 
especially for organizations that are tempting targets and have many internal 
computers.
