Siemens, Nokia Helped Provide Iran's Censoring Tech

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-that's-not-very-nice dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Wall Street Journal has an article about Nokia and Siemens selling the censoring technology to Iran's government. Do you believe that the public relations damage to these companies can persuade them from selling this kind of technology to other dictatorial regimes?" I don't believe there will *be* any PR Damage, and that makes me a little sad.

    I'm sure that here in the UK the government is already enquiring on how they can do the same.

    There is nothing special about what they did...

    Exactly. Besides, Nokia LGPL'd Qt. They could invade Iran, and still keep good PR.
