But the rhetorical device he used, attempting to pin the demise of Blackberry on their choice to encrypt, is found waiting.
Blackberry was defeated by market forces, not a willingness to encrypt user data. The iPhone and Android changed the firmament in the market where Blackberry had been dominant.
His attempt at using this aside, his use of "law enforcement needs access" is also found wanting because the NDA, GHCQ, etc are not law-enforcement.
