Boycott Nokia Siemens

Petition

According to news reports, Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN), a joint venture between the Finnish cell-phone giant Nokia and German powerhouse Siemens, delivered what is known as a monitoring center to Irantelecom, Iran's state-owned telephone company. A spokesman for NSN said the servers were sold for "lawful intercept functionality," a technical term used by the cell-phone industry to refer to law enforcement's ability to tap phones, read e-mails and surveil electronic data on communications networks.

Given the Iranian government's persistent and widespread effort to silence legitimate criticism of theocratic rule and suppress non-violent demands for democracy and equal rights for all members of society, the sale of sophisticated equipment to enhance the authorities' ability to monitor and trace critics is absolutely unconscionable. Obviously Nokia Siemens Networks is only concerned about making money without any consideration for the hundreds or potentially thousands of innocents who will fall victim with the help of their technology.

Therefore we the undersigned wish to express our outrage against Nokia Siemens Networks and pledge to boycott its products>>> Sign Petition

I'm all for boycotting Nokia

by ghalam-doon on Wed Apr 15, 2009 08:59 AM PDT

But not for the dubious reasons mentioned here. But for the fact that Nokia invests heavily in Israel.

It's despairing

to see so many arrogant people justifying I.R's actions by comparing them to the US and Israel. Does the United States jail bloggers and people who speak against the government? Does the United States hang gays? The Islamic Republic is a regime of terror and torture. They fear any kind of oppoisition.

I do not see your point. We are not Nokia fans here to be disapointed or surprised by Nokias action, nor are we Nokias enemies to look for its demise. This petition could lead to a bad will for the company that if is big enough could be damaging for Nokias reputition and that will cost them customers. It is also very iomportant to highlight the mobile security issue since Ahmaghinejad and his followers seem to not have any respect for human rights nor human lives it is our duty to inform everyone about existence of these systems.

Your Phonje calls were controlled by "W" and ....

During 8 years of "W"'s presidency ALL Iranian's who lived in US, their phone calls whether to Iran or elsewhere were recordered and monitored. Most Iranian phone calls were routed to Israel before being completed for monitoring, translation and action. Weren't you so quiet Mr JJ during those times? Why?

Here's some food for thought.

A little barckground about a little company from Israel called Amdocs.

//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdocs

A bit more about what Amdocs has been doing in the US and beyond according to Fox!!!

Do you need more? No problemo, Fox has has more.

need to boycott all phone services in US

by zekise (not verified) on Tue Apr 14, 2009 05:09 PM PDT

I'm all for the boycott!

At the same time, I want to bring to attention that all our phone calls are processed in EEzrael.

So EEzrael is able to know who you are calling for 90%+ of our phone calls. And since this data is processed out of US it does not fall under our privacy laws.
