Filter 'no threat' to users' privacy
China's largest mobile operator has pledged to protect its users' privacy amid concern over the filtering of text messages for illegal or pornographic content.
Li Kang, deputy director of customer services for China Mobile, insisted consumers are not affected by the filter system and said the move is part of wider efforts to clampdown on "unhealthy" mobile Web content.
"The freedom and privacy of individual users enjoys legal protection," he said on Friday. "China Mobile will do its best to protect consumers' rights and interests strictly in line with the relevant laws and regulations."
