    RIM apparently have the ability to.
  • Sorry for being thick, but who are RIM?

    Will his employers be able to read the messages?
  • RIM = Blackberry manufacturer

    Probably depends of set up in use at employer - i.e if company has own BB server or not ?
    There were case of some countries banning them since govt couldn't spy on the messages, solution was to have a local server in country

    But in our yes our employer can read our BBMs - if they want to

    I'm sure its the case that employers can also record phone calls too. Arent there third party server services which provide for this?
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..
