This system is used to spy upon all Iranian citizens who use the internet, and it intercepts all e-mail and VOIP traffic. Iran is using the system to locate and identify persons who are opposed to governmental policies and dictates. Various groups are trying to organize boycotts of Nokia and Siemens products in response to the cooperative efforts those companies have provided to the repressive regime in Iran. The Wall Street Journal is the first to report this story in the United States although it had been reported in Europe earlier.
