A friend recently complained to me that her boyfriend was probably cheating on her. He had a hickey on his neck when he came home last night, and denied it, saying it was a mosquito bite. Therefore, she wanted to find out his password and check his phone while he was asleep. Well, this is actually illegal. Text messages are his privacy, and reading them without his permission is invasion of privacy.Edgar Choi is a law graduate of the Fudan University.
