中国が携帯実名制を実施か?
今後中国政府が情報統制を法制化する中で含まれるものとして、携帯の実名制があがっている。中国は今まで携帯のSIMカードを買うときは身分証などいらず匿名で携帯番号が手に入り、情報統制の抜け穴となっていたが、今後携帯のSIMカードを買う際には実名を求められるようになるかもしれない。
The measures contemplated reportedly include mandatory user registration for cellphones, according to reports from the conference. Now, users can easily buy cellphone cards in stores, obtaining a new telephone number without identifying themselves. Web sites, too, might be subject to registration.[...]
Whether used for conversations or short messaging, cellphones have played a major role in the wave of social unrest that has swept China in the past two years, allowing people to organize quickly and to spread news of police actions and other developments. The anonymous use of cellphones is a major loophole in the state's effort to monitor communications of all kinds, and the authorities seem determined to close it.
无论是用来谈话还是发送短消息,手机在过去两年席卷中国的各种示威抗议浪潮中都起了重要作用,它使得人们可以迅速组织起来,并传播有关警方行动和其他发展的消息。手机匿名使用政策是这次政府对各种形式的交流进行监控努力的一个重要方面,官方看来决定取消这一政策。
