Is it illegal to send messages and swear? Can you call the police?

Sending insulting information for many times, interfering with the normal life of others, and violating the relevant provisions of the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment, you can report to the police. Although this kind of behavior does not cause certain social impact and does not constitute an infringement on the right of reputation, it affects the lives of others to a certain extent.

Once the other party has more than three such harassing messages, they can report them directly to the local police station. The police station will punish the harasser according to the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Public Security Administration Punishment.

Legal basis: Article 42 of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Public Security Administration Punishment stipulates that anyone who repeatedly sends obscene, insulting, threatening or other information and interferes with the normal life of others shall be detained for not more than five days or fined not more than 500 yuan; If the circumstances are serious, they shall be detained for not less than five days but not more than ten days and fined not more than five hundred yuan.
