As far as I know Blackberry said the police could look through their BBM archives or something but as for suspending the service, I can't see it. I mean there is a thing called texting which is also pretty much free too!
They could suspend every form of social networking but by now the yobs will know to meet in and around the town centre anyway so it makes little difference.
The Inside BlackBerry blog was hacked into on Tuesday afternoon by a group calling themselves TeamPoison. In a statement posted on the BlackBerry website, the hackers said:
Dear RIM;
You Will _NOT_ assist the UK Police because if u do innocent members of the public who were at the wrong place at the wrong time and owned a blackberry will get charged for no reason at all, the Police are looking to arrest as many people as possible to save themselves from embarrassment ... if you do assist the police by giving them chat logs, gps locations, customer information & access to peoples BlackBerryMessengers you will regret it, we have access to your database which includes your employees information; e.g – Addresses, Names, Phone Numbers etc. – now if u assist the police, we _WILL_ make this information public and pass it onto rioters…. do you really want a bunch of angry youths on your employees doorsteps? Think about it…. and don't think that the police will protect your employees, the police can't protect themselves let alone protect others….. if you make the wrong choice your database will be made public, save yourself the embarrassment and make the right choice. don't be a puppet..
p.s – we do not condone in innocent people being attacked in these riots nor do we condone in small businesses being looted, but we are all for the rioters that are engaging in attacks on the police and government…. and before anyone says "the blackberry employees are innocent" no they are not! They are the ones that would be assisting the police.
The hackers said they defaced the website "in response" to this statement made by RIM on Monday: "We feel for those impacted by the riots in London. We have engaged with the authorities to assist in any way we can."

That would be worse imo. At least if they keep them together then they can keep an eye on them, just need to make sure no more people join them.
Nixon zoomed you about 20 pages ago.
63 pages and not one Liverpool V Man U arguement, has to be a record on here.
Give it time lol. They always find a way of worming one in

Liverpool > United.
Nice to see it's getting closer to me now, Birmingham and West Brom starting to kick off.
Thankyou for proving me right lol
Lucky you. I wish the laws were less strict here in the UK. If I move to America in a few years (which is the plan, but obviously it depends if I can get in) I'll also own a firearm and if they break into my property; on their head be it. Well not actually their head, more likely leg.
AFAIK you can legally own a shotgun of certain dimensions without a licence in the UK.

That worries me more than the riots.
