The United Arab Emirates announced that they will be banning email, messaging and web browsering services on the Blackberry because they can’t monitor its contents due to the fact that some of the services are operated outside of its country’s law.
Research In Motion, the makers of the Blackberry has not commented on the announcement. Critics of the crackdown say it is also a way for the country’s conservative government to further control content they deem politically or morally objectionable.
The ban would also extend to people visiting the country as well.
