DESCRIPTION:Event Co-sponsored by:\nRaging Grannies \nSan Jose Peace and Justice 
 Center\n\nOne American company is aiding Egypt's harsh response through 
 sales of technology that makes the repression possible.  \n\nEgypt has the 
 ability to spy on Internet and cell phone users, by opening their 
 communication packets and reading their contents. (Iran used similar 
 methods during the 2009 unrest to track, imprison and in some cases, 
 "disappear" truckloads of cyber-dissidents.)\n\nThe companies that profit 
 from sales of this technology need to be held to a higher standard. One in 
 particular is an American firm, Narus of Sunnyvale, Calif., which has sold 
 Telecom Egypt "real-time traffic intelligence" equipment.\n\nNarus, now 
 owned by Boeing, was founded in 1997 by Israeli security experts to create 
 and sell mass surveillance systems for governments and large corporate 
 clients.\n\nThe company is best known for creating NarusInsight, a 
 supercomputer system which is allegedly used by the National Security 
 Agency and other entities to perform mass surveillance and monitoring of 
 public and corporate Internet communications in real time.\n\nNarus 
 provides Egypt Telecom with Deep Packet Inspection equipment (DPI), a 
 content-filtering technology that allows network managers to inspect, track 
 and target content from users of the Internet and mobile phones, as it 
 passes through routers on the information superhighway.\n\nAbove 
 information condensed from the following article, read the article... it 
 only gets 
 worse!:\n\nhttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/timothy-karr/one-us-corporations-role-_b_815281.html\n
