As people’s living standards improve, the increase in mobile phone users has brought about certain problems, such as an overload of spam messages and harassment through ring tones, which are particularly severe issues. In response, the relevant authorities have proposed using real-name registration for mobile phones to address such issues, which in turn has given rise to conflicts regarding civil rights such as the right to privacy and the right to freedom of communication. Pro argument: It is necessary. 1. Effectively combat issues such as phone fraud and spam messages. 2. Prevent users from deliberately defaulting on communication fees. Opposing view: It’s not necessary. 1. Citizens’ right to privacy is under threat. 2. It fosters behaviors of using fake identities to purchase phone numbers for criminal purposes.

In this way, there are three benefits: 1. It prevents waste of resources; 2. With rules in place, it is possible to combat issues such as phone scams and spam messages. 3. One should cherish their own card and improve their own qualities.
To put it simply, it’s still the operator’s problem; no action will be taken. Why? Because the biggest profit goes to the operators. I remember reading somewhere, though I can’t be sure exactly, something along these lines: For those 400-number services, after registration and when making calls, at one yuan per minute, to whom is that money paid? Registering a dedicated line should also cost money; to whom should it be paid? It seems that in a certain year, the operators made a profit of 400 million due to fraud. You say, are the operators willing to take care of it?
The ID number is personal privacy; could criminals obtain it by using a phone number?
You mentioned the issue with this operator; it seems I’ve seen that before as well. When it comes to operators, there are too many factors involved
It’s good to use a real name – after all, we’re not going to do anything bad, so what’s there to worry about? P
Shenzhen seems to be doing pretty well in advancing this area. Through public opinion and government pressure, operators were forced to take action, and China Unicom, China Mobile, and China Telecom all carried out relevant cooperation. Moreover, if a fraud report is made, the service provider will cooperate with the cyber police to solve the case and freeze the relevant accounts. However, a 170 number range emerged and was exploited by scammers for some time.
You’re not a bad person, but you’ll be harmed by bad people. A real-name system is good; it has many advantages, but it also has numerous disadvantages. Only by addressing the drawbacks can a real-name system be implemented; it cannot be put in place until those drawbacks are fundamentally resolved.
Everything has its pros and cons. I agree with your view.
Personally, I think using real names is better, as it allows for more effective suppression of illegal and unlawful activities carried out via mobile phones. However, mobile phone operators must protect the personal information of their users and not disclose it casually.
Okay, then no real-name system – I’ll go with your suggestion! ;P
