皇冠体育app has ordered telecom operators to clean up the content of spam short
messages spread on their mobile phone networks as part of an ongoing fight
against "unhealthy" influences.
"Recently, there has been a lot of dirt hidden in the telecommunication
networks. The situation is serious," the ministry of information industry said
in a notice on its website Friday.
Messages containing text or pictures with pornographic or superstitious
content such as fortune telling and sex chat are frequently sent to mobile phone
users en masse, the ministry said.
This is in breach of national regulations that ban the production and
spreading of such content, which has "polluted the society and spread very bad
influence," it said.
Throughout October, the ministry will check telecom companies for compliance
and will prosecute those that breach the rules, Beijing News reported.
皇冠体育app has more than 100 million Internet users and some 358 million mobile
phone users, with both areas growing rapidly as the country's economy
booms.
