Messaging services, including SMS and OTT apps such as WhatsApp, the LINE, and Email with global coverage and reach, these messaging services are key infrastructure and the number of messaging transactions is rising everyday. That messaging network is the biggest platform supporting activities of, commercial, political, human rights, and social. Messaging Scams is the biggest social issue in recent years in many countries. Criminal groups have been abusing messaging service platforms to rob people out of their money. Telecom operators and Governments in many countries have been trying to reduce that crime. How detailed should the content of messages be grabbed by telecommunication carriers and their regulatory bodies for filtering services or other countermeasures to function effectively? What is the appropriate messaging security? To what extent should we allow telecom operators and countries to intervene - Today we must discuss the conflict between people's free expression, human rights, democracy and crime control. | |||||||||||||
