Text message service cut off for people using 'bad' words

Cell phone users in Beijing and Shanghai will not be able to send text messages anymore if the content in the message is deemed to be unhealthy or illegal in nature. The major telecoms have already agreed to sort out suspicious messages and block these users.

The question is....What is deemed as illegal and unhealthy? This is unclear at the moment as firm regulations and guidelines have not been sent.
