China is cracking down on junk e-mail and “illegal” cellphone text messages, the official Xinhua News Agency said Tuesday.

A new regulation will ban sending e-mail advertisements to people without their permission, and all advertising e-mail must be titled “advertisement” or “AD,” the agency said.

It also said that cellphones must be registered under users’ real names and that text messaging will be controlled more tightly because of the spread of “illegal messages.”
