A few days ago the United Arab Emirates suspended Blackberry’s messenger, email and web functions as it poses a threat to national security because these functions are not easily monitored. I don’t understand why they need to monitor these functions, Canada and the United States don’t monitor these functions but I may be wrong. I think that these monitoring systems that the UAE has invades people’s privacy. The UAE was disappointed that the United States criticized them for this action but i don’t think that the United States should be worried about the UAE because what the UAE is doing is just plain wrong. I think that these politicians from UAE are just trying to plug the media which we believe is voiding the freedom of speech. I think that the UAE should change their suspension on Blackberry’s services as it might hinder a lot of economic problems for them such as tourism.
