    Nokia recently provided the Iranian regime with a "monitoring center" that enables security forces to tap cell phones, scramble text-messages, and interrupt calls. Nokia's new surveillance system has enhanced the regime's ability to crack down on dissent during recent protests. The monitoring technology is being deployed on a massive scale, with hundreds arrested thanks to Nokia's technology.
    Nokia has a responsibility to ensure its technology is used in an ethical manner. Take a minute to pressure Nokia to stop immediately its contract with the Iranian regime, disable its monitoring center, and explain how Iranians can circumvent the monitoring system. Tell the company you will boycott its products and urge your mobile carriers to stop selling Nokia until it stops aiding the crackdown. You can edit the letter below, which will then be sent to Nokia. (Questions? Email campaign -at- aicongress.org.)

    Big companies like Nokia don't care.They only care about $$$$$$.--Alot of people think all this modern technology(computers,cellphones etc.) is so wonderful,until they see the other side of the coin.And I'm not only talkin' about the situation in Iran.

    Are you sure you're not working for them. That sounded like a fucking commercial.
