Simple, or too simplistic?

First, how to define sexting? I'm sure there are words equivalent to those on American broadcast networks that are bleeped. But most of these words have multiple meanings in a Chinese context. Take the Chinese equivalent of the f-word. In most circumstances, the all-inclusive word for "do" is used rather than a specific word for the activity.

Which takes me to my second point: How to detect sexting? The logical method is to set sensitive words. But, some of these words are only "sensitive" in a special context. Besides, we have developed, over time, various ways of circumventing sensitive words by adopting homonyms. The latest generation of netizens has elevated this to a new level of sophistication.

The only safe way to accurately screen sexting is for real people to do the job. But you know how many text messages people send out in one day? China Mobile, alone, reported late last year that it processed 1.5 billion messages on a daily basis. So, it'll take an army of millions to do the job adequately. On the plus side, I now know where our 6.1 million college graduates can find work, thereby turning a high-tech industry into a labor-intensive one.

Of course, I'm kidding. But pornography is a serious matter. It'll corrupt our youth, leading them from rote learning into dens of iniquity.

But shouldn't there be a line between sex content for private consumption and that for mass distribution?
