An Indian magazine is reporting Research In Motion has given in to the government of India and will allow security forces to have access to BBM users private messages.
The Toronto Star is reporting that after two years the BlackBerry-maker has “knuckled under to the government”.
Experts say the change, first reported yesterday in the news-magazine “India Today”, could lead to similar access for other spy agencies and government bodies around the world if they don’t already have it.
The magazine article, titled “No secrets on BlackBerry: govt gets its way on tapping popular messenger service”, cites Indian security agencies that the Waterloo-based tech giant had completed installation of a server for the company’s popular BBM instant messaging service in India.
