A report that emerged yesterday from China Daily claims that central China mobile phone users could face detention for sending erotic texts as the government tries to combat "unwanted and inappropriate text messages". One text message will be worth five days in prison, whereas three text messages will get you ten days in prison and a fine of 500 yuan.The news comes after a Communist Party in the province of Henan held 480 meetings on tackling the issue, causing a stir among the population, with one blogger named Han Haoyue stating "It's not necessary to hold 480 meetings on this. This is an enormous waste of administrative resources."
Not everyone is so reluctant towards the idea, however. Plans have been put into motion for similar schemes in other provinces, with offenders in the county of Shenze facing an "unspecified punishment", with the worst offenders being named and shamed in the local media. "I'm totally for the rules. It's uncomfortable to get dirty text messages from male friends and even more gross when they are from strangers," Zhang Kai, 26, was quoted as saying, "but I'll take them as jokes and reply if they are from my female friends"
That would make it worse instead of better

Sure, America isn't perfect when it comes to freedom, but you would have to be REALLY ignorant if you think the rest of the world has it any better.
I think it's time for a revolution. Anyone?

Great, if you're in China right now, or if you're going there soon, please, by all means, go help the Chinese revolt. Hmmm, what do you say?
...Or do you have more important things to do?

Meh, I'm not getting screwed. But someone should.
ROFL did you just quote Optimus Prime?
And i see SMS SPAM , messages from strangers ? , again i doubt that the history is well written , like always Media tend to distort it so it can meet their "idea" even if its to bash on China
but again at least they will remove the problems with couples ( Husband notices that wife has a message , reads it , sees that its from another guy , spanks her , or vice versa
Or a kid gets the mobile reads the dirty sms and asks their parents what is this word
But well i love a few posts here , people forget that in their country is/WAS worse not long ago
Being told what they can and can't say... daft!
LOL
Whoa, really? If that's the case, it should cover spam in general you're right... I hate that nonsense. When I had Nextel I got all sorts of junk here in the states, but havn't since switching...
day too, as in US incoming Texts are being charged too....
