Nokia Siemens supplied Iran with the technology to help the Iranian government monitor, track, & control it's citizen's phone & internet access. From what I understand, they gave them the technology over a year ago but I do not support this type of technology period. I will not use or suggest anyone else use Nokia ever again.

Eh?

Doesn't the US and UK also have technology like this to monitor their citizens phone and internet access?
Doesn't Australia monitor and control its populations internet access? As well as a host of other western countries?

Whats the difference? Double standards me thinks..
More demonization of the anti west Iranian government BY the west.
