For every step that is taken to spy on people without reason, there will be a technical solution to solve the problem.
Freedom of speech is not the enemy. Freedom of speech has not been the motivator behind terrorist attacks. Rather, it's the lack of ideas caused by the lack of free speech that causes irrational, desperate and violent behavior.
To get around people "snooping" on my Internet communication, I use an online privacy proxy (specifically spynot.com) that encrypts all of my communication. That's the sort of technical solution that will stop Big Brother.
For now, I'm not too worried about my government (US), but I'm more worried about my workplace, which is intenet on keeping me out of my webmail out of a misguided notion that it's "bad." Free Speech is not bad- it's enlightning! When will we finally learn this?
There is a solution to this problem- anonymous proxies exist to get Web users through to blocked sites. I use http://www.spynot.com/ to get through to my yahoo mail accout from work. I suppose the same sort of thing would work for Iranians.
