Please refer to this paper

Mobile SMS business has become an increasingly attractive “cake”. Last year, the number of SMS messages sent in my country reached 90 billion, providing operators with However, the problem of "letter harassment" caused by bad text messages has also followed, bringing many unnecessary troubles to users. In the recent "SARS" incident in Guangdong, mobile phones became one of the main media for spreading rumors, which was extremely destructive. The spread of harmful text messages has increasingly become the focus of social attention, and has attracted great attention from representatives of this year's "Two Sessions". Wang Xiang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference from Jiangxi, submitted a proposal, hoping to quickly block pornographic text messages on mobile phones. Legal experts also called on the telecommunications industry not to blindly revel in and cheer for the skyrocketing revenue from SMS services. Instead, it should be aware of the pollution caused by some bad SMS to society and even the subsequent criminal acts in the development process of SMS. . Moreover, bad text messages on mobile phones are highly hidden and dangerous, which determines how operators filter bad information and how to abide by business integrity. This is a practical action that must be completed in the text message craze. This also requires more management by relevant parties. Let’s work together to build a sound and healthy SMS industry chain as soon as possible.

Currently, there are more than 200 million mobile phone users in China, and mobile text messages are expected to become the "fifth media" after the Internet, affecting our personal and social lives. However, some harmful information also tends to spread. Just in February this year, rumors about "SARS" and other rumors were widely circulated through text messages, which once caused people to panic. This poses a regulatory challenge. And "dirty jokes" is a text message issue that has to be mentioned. The "yellow filth" that used to be popular in small circles is now increasingly rampant, and it has spread among children through text messages on mobile phones. Especially now that mobile phone owners are becoming younger, the rampant use of pornographic text messages will seriously endanger the physical and mental health of young people. The lesson is clear. A 16-year-old boy in Chongqing was poisoned by pornographic text messages. He was expelled from school for attempted rape and received legal discipline. Zhang Meiying, a professor at Peking University Law School and an expert on the juvenile justice system, expressed deep concern about this. She pointed out that teenagers are in a stage of physical and mental growth, and bad text messages are potentially harmful to their healthy growth.

If the social harm caused by vulgar text messages is only potential, then the use of mobile phone text messages to defraud has become a real and direct harm. Not long ago, a criminal case of using mobile phone text messages to commit fraud was uncovered in Fujian. The criminal gang selected a mobile phone number segment in another province, connected to the Internet through a group sender, and continuously sent text messages 24 hours a day at a speed of 2 to 5 seconds per message. A company conducts lottery activities and publishes false winning information to lure mobile phone users into taking the bait. Then tell the owner that the prize must be collected in a certain city within a short period of time. If the owner cannot rush there immediately, the other party can collect it on his behalf, but part of the postage and personal income tax must be remitted. The victim's remittance will be taken away from the ATM by a dedicated cashier within 3 minutes after it arrives in the account, making it difficult for the police to find effective evidence that the suspect defrauded money when solving the case. There are countless similar cases.

Therefore, the effective supervision of bad text messages on mobile phones is urgent. This requires all competent authorities, operators, and value-added service developers to work together to control the bad text messages and adopt a multi-pronged approach. Carry out effective filtering and purify the market environment for SMS services.

First, we must strengthen legislation. Nowadays, crimes using mobile phone text messages to commit crimes are on the rise year by year. An important reason is that there are currently no special regulations stipulating this. At present, the legal community has not yet formed a unified opinion on whether and what kind of responsibilities all parties in the relevant industry chain should bear during the dissemination of bad text messages, and the corresponding legislation is still blank. Regarding harmful text messages, many countries in the world have taken legal measures to regulate short message services. For example, the European Union has formulated a code of conduct for "Protecting Private Information Data" so that mobile phone users no longer passively accept spam messages. Japan and South Korea have also introduced relevant sanctions to curb the spread of commercial and unhealthy text messages. However, in our country, mobile phones are still in the stage of passively receiving text messages. How to help users not receive or receive less bad text messages is still a vacuum in terms of laws and regulations, especially when mobile phone text messages involve issues of personal privacy. Worth exploring.

At present, although China Mobile, China Unicom, Sina, Sohu and other major SMS service providers have signed the "Internet Self-Discipline Convention", the effective suppression of spam SMS is still based on "consciousness". For the temptation of commercial interests, it is not enough to rely solely on corporate self-discipline. The good news is that the measures for the standardized management of mobile phone text messages recently formulated by the Ministry of Information Industry are widely soliciting opinions. Among them, publishers and network companies should bear their own responsibilities for publishing and disseminating pornographic text messages and false text messages that cause social harm. Detailed provisions. This is good news for people who not only want to enjoy the convenience and speed brought by mobile phone text messages, but also hope to have a standardized and clean text message market.

Secondly, telecommunications regulatory authorities and national cultural authorities must increase law enforcement efforts. As industry authorities, the national cultural authorities and provincial communications administration authorities should focus on the healthy development of the communications industry and handle relevant issues in strict accordance with relevant laws and regulations. Websites must operate in accordance with the "Decision of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress on Maintaining Internet Security", the "Measures of the People's Republic of China on the Administration of Internet Information Services" and other relevant regulations, strengthen content supervision, try to report relevant news from mainstream media, and do not provide harmful information. information. If harmful information is found, especially on BBS, it should be deleted promptly and reported to the relevant main departments. All communications bureaus, public security bureaus and other government departments should also keep in contact at ordinary times and work together to combat text message crimes in accordance with the law.

Finally, operators must establish correct operational concepts, and value-added service developers must strictly review and control the first threshold of SMS services. At the same time, strengthen communication and use various technical means to effectively filter bad text messages on mobile phones. The most important thing is to first ensure that you do not try to avoid harassing users for the sake of profit. In addition, no matter how the mobile phone short message is sent, it must go through the mobile communication operator's SMS gateway to reach the other party's mobile phone. Therefore, many domestic consumers and experts have proposed that China Mobile and China Unicom set up security cordons to filter the content of each mobile phone text message to eliminate or reduce harmful text messages. Of course, since the end of last year, China Mobile and China Unicom have also increased their monitoring of text messages. One is to conduct random inspections of the text messages on mobile phones or platforms that have experienced a sudden increase in text message traffic and an unusual number of messages to prevent them from spreading harmful information. Secondly, both companies have activated signaling monitoring systems. If any information that may endanger national security, be suspected of major fraud, related to illegal and criminal activities, or online pyramid schemes, such as "Mark Six Lottery, Betting," etc., is found, It will be translated into text and manually judged. If it is indeed a short message that threatens national security, or is suspected of major fraud or other illegal and criminal activities, the monitoring personnel will promptly report it to the public security department through the 24-hour hotline and delete the text message. . However, people from China Mobile and China Unicom also pointed out that it is not technically impossible to translate and filter the contents of all text messages one by one, but the cost is too high. First of all, it requires a lot of manpower and equipment; secondly, the delivery time of SMS will be greatly delayed, which violates the original meaning of SMS to quickly transmit information. Some people in the legal field also said that total filtering infringes on the communication freedom of communication users, especially those who normally send harmless text messages, and currently does not receive support from national laws.

At the same time, the entire process of sending text messages is that the user enters the content of the text message on each mobile phone and sends it to the nearest base station. Then with the help of the switching network, after completing the billing, it reaches the recipient through the selected route. The base station where the mobile phone is located finally sends the information to the recipient’s mobile phone. Therefore, monitoring of text messages mainly focuses on sending text messages to service stations. However, current technical monitoring can only identify the transmission quality of the signal, but cannot identify and filter the content of the signal. If you want to accurately judge, it can only be done manually. However, in the face of the huge amount of information sent? About 200 million messages per day, this is obviously impossible to achieve. Foreign countries are also helpless in this regard and can only pursue the illegal information after it has caused a major impact.

Therefore, to effectively control the development momentum of bad text messages, it is necessary for all operators and value-added service developers such as websites to jointly increase the effective monitoring of bad text messages, especially through the use of technical means to strengthen the monitoring of bad text messages. Filtering of bad text messages. No matter which method is used, all text messages must go through the mobile telecommunications platform before reaching the recipient's mobile phone. From this point of view, technically preventing and blocking bad mobile phone text messages and purifying the mobile communications field are the challenges faced by my country's mobile communications sector. new topics.

Of course, mobile phone text messaging involves personal privacy after all, so how to balance it is also a dilemma, which requires coordination between regulatory authorities, operators and users.

In short, the mobile phone text message business has begun to emerge as the "fifth media". Mobile phone text messages "are the real revolution just because they are small." According to industry estimates, throughout this year, the number of mobile phone users nationwide The number of text messages sent will exceed 150 billion, and the direct profits generated will reach 15 billion yuan. The considerable development prospects are naturally attractive, but bad text messages may become more rampant. Therefore, a multi-pronged approach and effective supervision are more urgent. Only in this way can the development of the text message business be smoothly put on a healthy development track. At the same time, solid Online SMS has also begun to flourish. This also requires fixed network operators to actively learn from the market experience of mobile SMS business expansion to avoid the same problems and achieve healthier development.
