Is it illegal to send text messages in groups? How long will it take to send130,000 spam messages to make illegal profits?

Legal analysis: mass texting itself is not illegal, and it is illegal mainly because: 1. The content of the short message sent violates relevant laws and regulations, such as fraudulent information, gambling, and violation of national laws and regulations, then such mass short messages are of course illegal; Second, the platform for mass texting has not obtained formal national qualifications, such as business qualifications and pseudo base stations. Companies engaged in mass SMS business must obtain value-added telecommunications business licenses. No organization or individual may engage in telecommunication business activities without obtaining a telecommunication business license. Using "pseudo base stations" to send spam messages constitutes a crime of destroying public telecommunications facilities.
