China has started censoring SMS messages, ostensibly to curb pornographic content but in reality to prevent free speech and political dissent. Messages that criticize the government or communicate logistics for protest are deleted and the sender jailed. In keeping with China's schizophrenic dual system of capitalist markets and communist government, Beijing has contracted the censorship work out to 10 companies who are collectively employing 30,000 people to monitor and sensor the text messages. If that's not enough people to do the job, maybe they can outsource some of the work to India.
