China to crack down on SMS, junk mail
Following its tightening of control over Internet, the Chinese government is now cracking down on junk e-mail and illegal SMSes, reports Techtree.com. New regulations will ban e-mailing people for advertising purposes without their permission and will make it compulsory for all advertising mails to be clearly titled as such.
Mobile phones will have to be registered under users` real names, and text messaging would be controlled more strictly. What amounts to "illegal" messages was not clear, neither was how the authorities would in fact control these messages.
This crack down will also include the China Internet Association releasing a name-list of e-mail servers accused of sending junk mails.
