Warning: The attached YouTube video contains graphic images. It purports to show a woman dying after being shot in an Iran street protest. The Wall Street Journal has not independently verified its contents.

<P>The Iranian regime has developed, with the assistance of European 
telecommunications companies, one of the world's most sophisticated mechanisms 
for controlling and censoring the Internet, allowing it to examine the content 
of individual online communications on a massive scale.</p> <P>Interviews with technology experts in Iran and outside the country say 
Iranian efforts at monitoring Internet information go well beyond blocking 
access to Web sites or severing Internet connections.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124562668777335653.html">
<P>Instead, in confronting the political turmoil that has consumed the country 
this past week, the Iranian government appears to be engaging in a practice 
often called deep packet inspection, which enables authorities to not only block 
communication but to monitor it to gather information about individuals, as well 
as alter it for disinformation purposes, according to these experts.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124562668777335653.html">Warning: This YouTube video contains graphic images.
