Many Governments including ours insists that they have to have access to some data on the pretext of security. Hasn't BB allowed exceptions for Russia, and recently Saudi Arabia, I know it's funny, possibly UAE too. India is demanding it too. RIM had been given a deadline of Aug 31, 2010 to comply. Whether or not there is a justification for allowing a government to snoop into a set of data is a political question. If One Govt demands access to fight terrorism, others will demand it too. Who should and should not be allowed is a political question too. But we can't discuss those issues here as we are not on OMNI here.
