Iran to Filter 'Immoral' Mobile Messages

jb.cancer noted an article running on eweek about plans in Iran to censor phone messages sent within the country. At least it's not quite that bad here yet. But give it a few years!

F***T P**T

I for one welcome our new msg censoring overlords

Well thank goodness for this. I know I'm often tempted to send out messages so immoral that I shock myself! So I'm glad there's someone with my best interests (and the best interests of society at large) at heart who is going to take the time to censor the messages I send. Isn't it nice when those kind people in the government relieve you of any need for self-restraint!

Ahh, i see you fall for the "drunken text message" trick too? Always gets me that one does, if it weren't for a 'sent items' folder on my phone i wouldn't know how many people to apologise to in the morning.

Defining 'immoral'

[Calydor]

The Iranian government should define immoral messages as any message that is not grammatically correct, contains proper sentence structure, and is free of typos.

Nasty

Don't know why they're bothering. You ever try to write "durka durka, mohammed jihad" with predictive text on? It's a bitch.

OMG

So a moral message is one that is grammatically correct, but badly structured and full of typos?

Isn't this already a solved problem?

I saw this on bash.org a while ago, and I thought of it the instant I read this headline:

<Cobra> so i was watching a pr0n
<Thunder> wait
<Thunder> why u guys always say pr0n instead of porn ??
Thunder has been kicked by Guardian (No porn on this channel !)
<Cobra> ...
<Cobra> so i was watching a pr0n

WTF?
