They're Gonna Filter Our SMSs!

This one's hilarious in a very sad way. Our government is going to start filtering our SMS (and possibly MMS) messages. I read the news here, and I have no other sources with more information, but this is exactly the kind of action you could expect from this kind of imbeciles.
And if I know them, they will execute it in the most outrageous and stupid method. And they will cite "protection of civil rights" as their motive, not once mentioning other alternatives like letting people themselves blacklist the forth parties that they don't want to receive. No sir! People must be "protected" in spite of themselves. And I guess everybody in Iran knows that given the option, the first SMSs people will bar would be advertisements and other junk sent from all kinds of government organizations and corporations!
Of course, if implemented, the whole process will be closed. The contract will be given to someone's cousin, and we (the minor group called "the people") will have no way at all to influence the system or even request information about it.
Man I get angry sometimes.
