rim/blackberry has never been about actual privacy, let alone privacy for any given user. it's been about helping corporations cover their asses. that means total control over the device's data -- sometimes hiding it from the public, sometimes revealing it to the executives or hr depts

priv is for privilege, which, legally speaking, is a protection on communications that can be lifted when a government, or a corporation with enough money, decides to lift it

it electronically debits you $1 twice immediately for their consideration, then drops the conference call, on every attempt

it also allows them to later (easily! electronically!) bill you the .1 each time. so efficient, the blackberry difference, yes

apparently blackberry just realized that letting random governments into their server room to poke around and kick the tires might be a bad look for a faltering tech firm that uses security as their sole remaining marketing point

The BBC posted:

Phone-maker Blackberry is to stop operating in Pakistan at the end of 2015 because of government requests to monitor customer data.

The Pakistani government wanted to be able to monitor every message and email sent via its phones, it said.

In a blogpost, it said it had decided to "exit the market altogether" over the row.

It said Pakistan's demand was not to do with public safety but a request for "unfettered access".

Slow decline
In July, Pakistan's Telecommunications Authority told Blackberry the servers underpinning its messaging business would no longer be allowed to operate in the country, citing "security reasons".

Marty Beard, chief operating officer at Blackberry, said the "truth" of the matter was Pakistan had wanted to look at all the traffic passing across its messaging servers but the phone company would not "comply with that sort of directive".

"Remaining in Pakistan would have meant forfeiting our commitment to protect our users' privacy. That is a compromise we are not willing to make," wrote Mr Beard.

This led Pakistan to tell Blackberry its servers could no longer operate in the country.

Mr Beard said Blackberry did not support "backdoors" that would grant open access to customers' information and had never complied with such a request anywhere in the world.

"While we recognise the need to cooperate with lawful government investigative requests of criminal activity, we have never permitted wholesale access to our servers," he said.

Mr Beard said the company had regrets over leaving Pakistan because it was an "important market".

Initially, Blackberry said it would wind up its operations at the end of November. However, the exit date has now been moved to 30 December as the government shutdown deadline has been extended until that date.

Industry figures gathered by analyst company IDC suggest that, in early 2015, Blackberry had a 0.5% share of the global smartphone market. In 2014, Blackberry shipped about 5.8 million handsets - 70% less than in 2013.

On Wednesday, the BBC posted a short video of him abruptly terminating an interview after a reporter asked about government interference in India and the Middle East with RIM's widely admired BlackBerry network security.

"That's just not fair," Mr. Lazaridis, RIM's co-chief executive officer, bristled in response to the question from reporter Rory Cellan-Jones. "First of all we have no security problem. � We've just been singled out here because we are so successful around the world. It's an iconic product."

When Mr. Cellan-Jones pressed again for a response, Mr. Lazaridis said: "It's over, the interview. You can't use that, it's not fair, it's national security. Turn that off."

because when i personally and in my own opinion think of national security i think of the ISI as a reputable and upstanding group of people who should most definitely not be told which off to gently caress
