eldavojohn writes "The Telegraph is reporting that China has [0]begun
monitoring 'billions of text messages' in order to increase censorship.
However, a People's Daily article [1]claims they only monitor users who
have been reported, and only shut down their message service if the
complaints are true. Anything considered pornographic will require the
user to bring a letter of guarantee to the local public security bureau
promising to never again send such messages before service can be
reactivated."
