Iran designing software for controlled social media access
http://j.mp/XzIxQf (Hurriyet Daily News)
Iran is designing "intelligent software" that would give citizens
restricted and controlled access to banned social networking sites,
local media Sunday quoted police chief Esmaeil Ahmadi Moghadam as
saying.

If this software would give "restricted and controlled" access to
otherwise "banned" social media sites, one might logically assume it
is primarily a censorship and monitoring regime, perhaps also with an
attempt to block access to key site functions. Prediction: Failure.
