Iran’s Telecommunications Ministry is set to start “filtering” picture, video, and audio messages, by order of The Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution. The Council wants the Telecommunications Ministry to acquire whatever equipment they will need in order to start filtering MMS messages for “immoral” content. There is no mention on how this “filtering” will be accomplished.
Iranian state TV reports, ” … in order to prevent possible misuse of MMS, immoral actions and social problems, the Telecommunications Ministry will filter immoral MMS.” Right, wouldn’t expanding and improving your communications infrastructure be a better use of resources? But, then again, immoral MMS sure is a huge threat these days.
