RE: India's next targets: Google, Skype
kj2757 1st Sep 2010
For all those making light or criticizing this move, let me highlight some important facts:
1. The Mumbai terrorist attacks in which hundreds of innocent civilians were slaughtered by Pakistani terrorists was carried out by using such tools as email, satellite phone, and text messages.
2. RIM has agreed to host a server and allow access to data to the Saudi Arabian government.
3. The Indian government has been working with RIM for over a year to come up with a workable solution but has been met with almost complete silence and no help.

I hate to say this....but if you live in a part of the world where the government already snoops on your data and as a result you have a lot less to worry about, then it's very easy to make light of other governments trying to do the same for their citizens. Or is it because of an in-built anti-India bias you people have, where you blame Indians for taking away jobs that are in fact being taken away by your companies. Or is it just that Indian lives are a bit less valuable when it comes to protection from terrorism and then data privacy and civil liberties all of sudden become sacrosanct.
