Saudi Arabia: Youth Flirting via BlackBerry or better via Opolis?

Aug. 9, 2010 - PRLog -- Bloomberg reports today that “boy meets girl” has never been easy in Saudi Arabia, where religious police bar unmarried couples from meeting in public. And, it may get harder as the State of Saudi Arabia presses Research In Motion Ltd. to let it monitor BlackBerry messages.

The Bloomberg report continues that many among the country’s growing youth population rely on technology to bypass social restrictions. RIM’s BlackBerry messenger service were one of the most popular means, and posting access codes that let users chat with one another on rear car windows and Internet group pages is a common flirting technique.

This raises the question for dating and communication alternatives for Saudi Arabia´s young population. Opolis Secure Mail (http://www.opolis.eu) may be one of them, even though it does not work on mobile devices. But, it is for free!

With Opolis all messages and attached documents are securely sender-to-recipient encrypted and can therefore not be read by anyone else. The sender can monitor and follow the entire path of a message. Hence, the sender sees immediately if and when the recipient has opened the mail and the attached document.

With Opolis the sender has always full authority over how the recipient can further process a message. Therefore, the sender decides whether the recipient may copy, print, respond to or forward a message or not. Therefore any message is optimally protected (and – for young couples important – can only be forwarded if one party allows to do so).

Finally, there is an attachment size limit of 125MB (way more than the usual 10-15MB with standard email) which should easily meet current demands (for example to send pictures or short videos)

Opolis is for free and merely requires that both, the sender and the recipient are Opolis users. The registration process takes approximately 5 minutes.
