BROOKE GLADSTONE: This is On the Media. I'm Brooke Gladstone. BOB GARFIELD: And I'm Bob Garfield, with an update. After last summer’s post-election demonstrations in Iran, a programmer named Austin Heap invented Haystack, software he said would help Iranian activists access banned websites, encrypt their conversations and, most importantly, hide such activity within innocuous material that would not arouse the suspicions of sensors. This spring, he announced that a version of Haystack was being tested by users in Iran and would soon roll out in three other countries, besides, and he brandished a waiver from the U.S. government to distribute Haystack in Iran as further evidence that the software was a success. BROOKE GLADSTONE: Media outlet after media outlet, including us, celebrated Heap, until two weeks ago when technology writer Evgeny Morozov cast aspersions on Haystack’s overly ambitious claims.
