- natch 11y agoUnless he disagrees with the decisions of his own company, he is being extremely hypocritical. Blog post (from another person representing Blackberry) a few days ago: http://blogs.blackberry.com/2015/11/why-blackberry-is-exiting-pakistan/ http://blogs.blackberry.com/2015/11/why-blackberry-is-exitin... "After November 30, BlackBerry will no longer operate in Pakistan. While we regret leaving this important market and our valued customers there, remaining in Pakistan would have meant forfeiting our commitment to protect our users’ privacy. That is a compromise we are not willing to make."

From the article: "The CEO also said he would never build government backdoors into its products and noted that the Canadian company was leaving Pakistan because the Pakistani government wants to monitor all Blackberry Enterprise Service traffic"
