EDIT: If the mods are done messing with this thread title and want to change it back to something that actually related to the article the original title was:
"China Censors/Forbids Mobile Texting Messages."
BEIJING — As the Chinese government expands what it calls a campaign against pornography, cellular companies in Beijing and Shanghai have been told to suspend text services to cellphone users who are found to have sent messages with “illegal or unhealthy content, such as pornography” state-run news media reported Tuesday.
China Mobile, one of the nation’s largest cellular providers, reported that text messages would automatically be scanned for “key words” provided by the police, according to China Daily, a state-controlled English-language newspaper. Messages will be deemed “unhealthy” if they violate undisclosed criteria established by the central government, the newspaper said.

even if a man doesn't have his mags, he can still use his IMAGINATION 
Chiina is fighting a losing war.

Wow damn this seems a lil harsh, even for China.
|
Lol, whats with their war on pornography? They already have a massive shortage of women...what are all the bachelors going to do?
|
haha absolutely terrible T_T
|
Maybe they are trying to drive a % of the male population out of china to even out the male:female ratio.........
|
I usually can see the rationale for things, but China needs to stop the ban against smut. I could understand if they were trying to stop exploitation of women, but I've seen too many hookers in China to think they give a damn about that lol.
It's just a relic from the Maoist era and really needs to go. Lonely men need an outlet!!

wow, China's almost like that movie "Equilibruim" or like a little bit of North Korea

I don't see what the point of doing this is.

There is not better way to prevent cataclysmic social rebellion than the creation of millions of restless, unmarried and horny men.

this is what happens when government thinks for people.
This is why i love"d" america
|
It reminds me of 1984 where the government was very strict about controlling sex. This is what happens when governments act only to direct people's activities to things they consider "beneficial" to society, rather than balancing that with individual rights like privacy and liberty.

Come on people, dont comment on a matter you dont know.
Porn related sms is a pain the ass here in China, I am very happy that the Chinese goverment wants to stop this shit, they could have done this sooner.
One of my classmate(a girl) spend a lot of time explained herself to her boyfriend after her boyfriend se the porn sms on her cell.
I personally received some, its annoying as hell. Its good that they put in some effort to stop this.
