Iran will start filtering “immoral” mobile messages


Iran’s Telecommunications Ministry will start filtering “immoral” video and audio messages sent via mobile phones.


Iran’s Telecommunications Ministry will start filtering “immoral” video and audio messages sent via mobile phones, state television reported on Saturday.

The Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, a body set up after Iran’s 1979 Islamic revolution, has instructed the ministry to buy the equipment needed to prevent any misuse of Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), it said.

It did not give details of the techniques it would use to filter such messages, when it would start or how it would define “immoral” messages.

Gee. I wonder who they could come to for advice?
