诺基亚西门子的媒体关系主管向言论自由大讨论讲述了专制政权滥用科技的现象，并介绍他们企业的人权尽责调查程序。
Ben Roome, head of media relations at Nokia Siemens Networks, speaks about the company’s regret over the sale of communications technology to the Iranian government, which was used to spy on its citizens during the disputed 2009 election. Roome says the sale was not naive as selling technology for lawful state interception is standard: “I think that telecoms providers … just provide what countries and states require them to provide. They have not been in the habit of making a judgment call on how that technology may be used.” Since 2009, however, Nokia Siemens has introduced a due diligence process to vet all government sales to ensure misuse does not occur. Asked whether the company sells technology to Syria, Bahrain or Yemen, Roome says: “I would need to check exactly what our situation is.”
