BlackBerry decides to leave Pakistan due to recent demands for backdoor access
Based on a new report, Pakistan’s Telecommunications Authority has demanded BlackBerry to grant backdoor access to the company’s encrypted handsets. Unfortunately, no compromise was made.
BlackBerry has responded to the request by completely eliminating influence in the territory. BlackBerry noted it’s far from willing to give up its users’ privacy and is therefore fully abandoning the country. BlackBerry stated that this was the only remaining option and was given no other choice. As it stands for now, consumers in Pakistan will no longer be able to purchase or activate BlackBerry handsets. Up until this point, Pakistan’s Telecommunications Authority has refused to settle and revise its high demands. If we hear anymore action on the topic, we’ll let you know first thing.
