How NY Gov. Cuomo Sidesteps Freedom of Information Requests With His Blackberry
New submitter wrekkuh writes "The Daily News is reporting that if aides of New York's Governor Andrew Cuomo cannot speak in person or by telephone with the Governor, they are told to use BlackBerry's PIN-to-PIN messaging system — a function that leaves no lasting trail because it bypasses data-saving email servers. Consequently, a Freedom of Information request for all e-mails to and from Governor Cuomo's office resulted in an empty reply from the Records Access Officer: 'Please be advised that the New York State Executive Chamber has conducted a diligent search, but does not possess records responsive to your request.'"
Next thing you know the Legislative Branch will start writing laws to sidestep the Judicial!!
Maybe if they ask real nice, the NSA can give the FOIA requestors their not-so-blank copy of the "blank" email archive.
I really want to watch the Kardasians but DS9 ain't even in syndication anymore.
These aren't written. They're texted.
If I can be modded down for being a troll, can I be modded up for being an orc, or a balrog?
The difference between Cardassian and Kardashians is that one group are a bunch of cold, heartless, reptilian creatures, and the other is an alien race from a Star Trek series.
