Or maybe it's time for phones to adopt PGP for text messages? You could collect your friends or colleagues public keys and then the telephone companies haven't the slightest idea what you're texting back and forth.
If you're using iMessage or BBM, they already can't provide any of that data to law enforcement. I'm not sure how Apple or RIM handles requests for users data from law enforcement though.
- uptown 14y agoA while back there was talk of BBM being banned in some countries (India was one of them) because of the problem of monitoring BBM messaging. http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2009585,00.html http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2009585,00.htm... Miraculously, they were allowed to remain in service in those countries. It's safe to assume the nations didn't just give up on their quest to obtain access to the messaging data.
