This was done in the interest of Islamic "morality" and maintaining the supremacy of the absolute monarchy. If they can't spy on your email, they can't be sure your following the tenets of Sharia ("Islamic Law"), nor can they be sure you aren't criticizing the King or a local religious leader.We would have long ago condemned Saudi Arabia to the axis of evil along with Iran, Korea, and Iraq (pre-war) if they didn't have so damn much delicious oil.RIM uses their own data network and their own point-to-point encryption (based on a unique key stored on the phone). Think VPN. Other smartphones connect straight to the internet, so Saudi Arabia (and anyone else controlling the ISP) could inject themselves between the phone and the network. The government can inject itself as the authentication server. I doubt anyone in Saudi Arabia ever sees a "Signed by Verisign" notice on their web browser. Every website is probably signed by the Saudi Government, because they've intercepted your communication (i.e. their servers authenticate with the outside site, your browser authenticates with their servers, so they can un-encrypt the data, process it, then re-encrypt it and send it to you using your public key). That's why its not only important to see that a site using https (or other encryption) has a valid certificate, you need to see who signed for that certificate. Who knows, your employer could be using this tactic right now to read your private, personal emails everytime you check your gmail.[/citation]
