The big money behind Iran's Internet censorship
(Daily Dot):

"While the Iranian government spends millions of dollars to build and
maintain one of the strictest censorship regimes on the planet, its
citizens spend their own millions on anti-censorship software that
allows them to see the Internet more freely. Anti-censorship is so
much money, in fact, that many of the same government authorities that
do the censoring then turn around and allow the sale of
censorship-beating software--in order to line their pockets, offer a
false sense of security to Iranians, and even to make their
surveillance jobs that much easier."
