Nokia Siemens helps Arab regimes catch dissidents

As one expert remarked, "There's very little chance a government is smart enough [to identify dissidents] without this [interception] technology."

That means firms like Nokia Siemens, which has actively sold mobile and Internet spying technology to despotic Arab regimes, are ethically complicit in their arrest and torture of peaceful dissidents.

Think about that the next time you're looking to buy one of their products!
