More Abusive Text Messaging
from the catching-criminals dept
The Register continues with their coverage of the evil ways that people use SMS messaging. The latest involves a study showing that teenagers tend to threaten each other or say generally nasty things via SMS. This is a surprise? The best part, though, is the teenager who was sought after for attempted murder. The police couldn't find him, but sent an SMS message to his phone telling him they would. He then turned himself in.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
