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.

    JIF:
    I'm not up on Hindu religion.
    I know you are a scholar of most religions; I'll leave that to you.

    I just know that I'm not out to destroy anyone or anything.

    I feel I have a higher moral compass and values than many who post here.

    People should remember that some of us have good memories.
