Report: Marriage database raises privacy concerns among Chinese

China is launching a national online marriage database to fight bigamy, a move that has raised concerns among millions of Chinese about protection of privacy.

The Chinese government's announcement that it plans to make the database available next year comes amid reports last week that hackers gained access to the personal information of 6 million users of the China Software Developer Network, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported Saturday.

The hacking triggered widespread panic in China, and some Chinese citizens raised questions about the safety of the anticipated marriage database, Xinhua said.

    @ Mmmmm:
    Why should you decide who can marry?
    Why should you decide who can love?
    Who are you to control another woman's reproductive choices?

    It's not a matter of banasy's being angry or not.
    Mmmmm argues her belief as fact and "truth."
    I accept that Mmmmm believes what she believes.
    That does not make it science, and it certainly should not be the basis of any law.

    In my experience, the women who are most troubled by s s marriage are women who think that they might get a man if the man just were not gay, or not allowed to be gay, and therefore had no outlet for his affection except to marry a woman–any woman, no matter how ugly she might be, because at least it would be legal for him to have her if he couldn't get what he really wanted.
