And YOU are a f*cking moron, for thinking that prosecuting OWNERSHIP of a picture is legit. Child porn needs to focus on stopping the CREATORS of porn, not people who look at it. It's a religiously biased BS law for wanna-be do-gooders. No one gets whipped when you look at a picture, retard.
Stallman has always had the right idea IMHO, but that 'ideal' put up against Corp Profit will never win sadly.
"Those who don't understand code, will be owned by those who do"
I'm all for a hardware manufacturer who creates and promotes 100% open hardware with public code provided.....................know any?
'Just Watch' Apparently BB also has a legion of pathetic 'haters' who don't understand the QNX microkernel or what actual security is..............hating for hating's sake I guess?..............LOL
Tough statement to make on a story that is ridiculously vague......
As an OS Blackberry is FAR SUPERIOR in security to both IOS and Android, but yeah, if someone physically has access or support from the Carrier/Manufacturer, you are screwed no matter what.
This is a cheap shot at BB, nothing more, nor is the story even validated by ANYTHING
A few posters nailed it, this is a 'Fear campaign' against an OS that LEO's have never been able to penetrate.
FACTS:
1. The core of the Blackberry 10 OS is QNX which is used for Aerospace/Defense systems.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
2. The current LEO issued "Smartphone Recovery Kit" as advertised does NOT support BB, but does crack iPhone & Android Smartphones
http://www.npr.org/2014/03/20/...
3. Not one shred of ACTUAL/PHYSICAL evidence? Just numerous 'stories' or references to vague third-parts apps...
4. While other Gov. Officials in various countries have had their communications hacked, Obama (and the last few Pres) have NEVER had their phone compromised......guess what Obama himself uses? dun..dun...dun.........BLACKBERRY

I feel sorry for BB as a company, there has been a coordinated campaign for years to discredit and destroy them, granted US consumers aren't smart enough to value security and chose Free Apps/Cheap Price (Android) and Hip/Youthful (Apple) which, in a word, sucks:(
THIS IS MY FIRST POST TO/.
I know this is a polarizing opinion argument, but I tried to post links where possible and hope this helps clear some misconceptions!

So again, we have another semi-intelligent person angry about not-even-new technologies that allow people to communicate with the broader World.....
Yes, it can be used for hate or trolling, but hey, you enjoy Free Speech right? (Or as much as we have in the modern World)
I hate to hear about BS like this.........sue anything you can for monetary gain and for personal reasons..........I'd say 'gtfo' lol
