  hmm

  Your commentary highlights an interesting conundrum. People complain about spam, but when China tries to block it...and goes a little bit further, everyone is up in arms. I am always for erring on the side of freedom. There are ways to prosecute spam without outlawing "bad" messages. And if that prosecution is not that efficient, so be it. Spam exists only because people click on it.

  But seriously, this is not a "spam" issue, although its directly related as far as we are concerned. For people in China its just the norm for the government to decide that a offence will decrease if jailtime is associated with it. If your RTA you can see that apparently there are quite a few things including peeping toms and "football Hooligans" that will get your rear placed in jail.

  China, SMS, private lives

  This is just going too far, I think.
  
  I am all for decency and propriety but people have to learn how to govern themselves. And there has to be freedom of speech. I think that repressive laws such as this might make the people rebel and just plain hate how things work.
  
  Then again, if it's a kind of discipline they want to enforce, I think that making policies like that is just too extreme. How would they draw the lines? That is one of the things I am concerned with.

  China is not a democracy like us (well were not technically one either but...). They have strived with respect even though they don't have a democracy. They can do that with there type of society.
