> What's full-disk encryption do if Facebook et al are going to funnel the data off your devices anyways?
We have more-or-less mandatory full-disk encryption at work (outsourced software development) in order to prevent source code and data access in case the dev boxes are confiscated by some third-party agency. I believe it's still a good measure for this case, if you don't blatantly upload the data into the internets. (And have a religious prescription on keeping any work-related data off your personal devices.)
Ironically, at the same time, most of our people use Google Drive to share project docs and discuss most of the work-related stuff via Skype. Though, I guess the disk encryption is there for plausible legal deniability as well.
