While some residents of Saudi Arabia are unhappy with the decision to close the kingdom’s Blackberry service, a large number of people support the decision of the authorities appeared to block the service. The blocking done with the reasons that the smart phones have the negative impacts for the younger generation.

Those who disagree with the decision, according to the report, complaining about the lack of advance notice, so that some of them are immersed to buy Blackberry a few days ago and are now stuck with the sophisticated tool that can not work at all.
While the 153 people who support the ban say they support it because they judge Blackberry has the negative impacts on the younger generation. Most of those who support the ban are the parents.
