Sexting Can Land You in Jail
We’ve done a number of stories at the Text Message Blog about Sexting. Why? Well, we love text
messaging and we love sex! (lol)
Now, the word from China, which is an exploding market for cell phones and text messaging, is that you can land in jail if you are sexting there.
Chinese authorities are now monitoring SMS text messages and are looking for erotic text messages (How would you like that job?). Anyone caught sexting will find themselves facing jail time in China. (I know a buddy of mine who might like to send his wife to China after finding his wife sexting with the guy who she met at a trade show.)
In the Henan province in China, one offending sexting message is grounds for spending five days in jail. Chinese citizens who send three of more sexy text messages will detained for a maximum of 10 days in jail. Chinese authorities in Henan held 480 meetings in the past month in order to deal with the “erotic SMS problem.”
This may be surprising to those of us living in the West, but China monitors all communications within its borders. So, its no surprise that they would be monitoring the text messages. You have to wonder, however, given the mass of people, just how few of the messages it can monitor percentage wise.
So, the message to be learned is that if you plan on sexting, do it in the USA and not in China. Unless, of course, your husband might see your messages.
