Google doesn’t require a warrant, Apple does.

Since google wasn’t requiring a court order before this (like Apple), I’m not sure how this makes them better. From this statement, both Google and Apple will be moving forward with a legal requirement to access this metadata in the future. They seem to be doing this together.

it seems they were both caught giving up data without a court order before and are now both doing the right thing.

Google has always had good privacy and security, it just doesn't apply to them! Which is the problem.
