Blackberry hand over your data

In a recent blog post I commented on the ultimatum United Arab Emirates had made on Research In Motion to give them access to Blackberry data or have their service suspended. Other nations were on that band wagon, India included. You can read that post here.

Today we have the cave-in from RIM, who will give the New Delhi access to a RIM server inside India from September 1st.

So there we have it. Another loophole in the wholesale surveillance of the civilian population successfully plugged. Don’t expect a different end anywhere else.
