Facebook, Google and WhatsApp plan to increase encryption of user data

Silicon Valley's leading companies - including Facebook, Google
and Snapchat - are working on their own increased privacy
technology as Apple fights the US government over encryption,
the Guardian has learned. The projects could antagonize
authorities just as much as Apple's more secure iPhones, which
are currently at the center of the San Bernardino shooting
investigation. They also indicate the industry may be willing to
back up their public support for Apple with concrete action.
