BlackBerry courts the US government
You have got to be kidding me!
Aren't Blackberry phones now manufactured by TCL?
#https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackBerry
"BlackBerry is a line of smartphones, tablets, and services originally designed and marketed by Canadian company BlackBerry Limited (formerly known as Research In Motion, or RIM).[1] These are currently designed, manufactured, and marketed by TCL Communication (under the brand of BlackBerry Mobile)"
And wasn't TCL in the news just a couple of months ago for having malware preinstalled on some of their devices?

"The app, named "Weather Forecast-World Weather Accurate Radar," was developed by TCL Corporation, a Chinese electronics company that among other things owns the Alcatel, BlackBerry, and Palm brands."
And even though those reports came out over two months ago there still hasn't been any official statement made by TCL/Alcatel.
We are doomed.
I'm glad some of the magnet schools here in the US are teaching our children Mandarin.
They are going to need it.
