Subject: RE: [IP] China filtering SMS messages

Hi Dave;

This reminds me of the attempts several years ago by Etisalat in the 
UAE to
stop "rude" conversations on SMS. It was a joke, because as soon as the
"kids" figured out that there was a filter, they developed their own 
version
of Arabic, using western character sets! - The filters saw nothing but
unintelligible strings of "English" and communication continued 
unabated and
uncensored.

Regards,
