Call me naive (or stupid) if I have difficulties to believe that, but since everything is possible in this crazy world, I am blogging the news….

In April, the Chinese Telecommunications Bureau of the Ministry of Information Industry issued new regulations dealing with systems to better control spam and illicit SMS messages.

Now, it is reported that the Ministry of Public Security has licensed China’s first system for monitoring and recording SMS.

This filtering system can search SMS using either keywords or keyword groups, it can also record text files, other data and the origins of SMS messages.

Designed specially for SMS providers, it would enable them to block and record SMS messages deemed inappropriate.
