SMS are certainly useful but cannot it be a threat?

SMS has showned its utility in our every day life and now became one thing we cannot barely live without...But is it safe? Cannot it be use against us?

Violence on the internet




Threats of violence on the internet have been followed by real acts, such as in Finland last week, and in Virginia Tech last year. Should there be police patrols of the internet? Should the police intervene before the acts?



I think that this problem is an international one because of the universality of internet: for example, Chinese authorities are to send two virtual police officers to patrol the internet, in a bid to combat "illicit activities", state media has reported.

The animated figures, a man and a woman, will appear on users' screens every 30 minutes "to remind them of internet security", China Daily said.This is because the Chinese government censors all internet and media content.

This process blocks content it deems politically or morally threatening, but some users have found ways to circumvent government controls. So i think hackers will ever be more efficient than police on this issue.....
Even if "the virtual police officers would protect "netizens" from harm"....

I think if police were on internet maybe we could have less murders but as i said, people will find another way to broadcast their anger! Internet is a global village were there isn't border so if police has a look on what is announced on it, i think it will modify the status of this media!
