Just Like Soviet Russia: T-Mobile Is Erasing Links to Gateway Pundit Articles if You Send Them by Text Message
Just sent the link to my wife and it opens just fine.
I ran a test both with iphone messaging and signal and both went through.
My systems are T-mobile...
As for the rants against GP, the cops gladly take tips from bank robbers and murderers as well as anyone else.
Only a fool ignores the screams that the house is on fire because he does not like the person screaming.
Sensible people listen and decide what they believe AFTER they listen.
If this is true (Verizon user here) then I believe this to be illegal.
T-Mobile is a provider - not a platform.
It’s the same as the phone company not allowing calls to and from a certain number.
Text with link to GP was blocked on ATT network. It is not just t mobile.
I just tested sending that link to a friend, link did not appear.
It might not be the same thing, but it’s close... Last month I tried to get on Freerepublic from Pizza Hut and McDonalds, and was blocked at both places. This is new since I’ve been able to read FR at both places in the past.
But sending fr link goes through
The point is that phone carriers have started to censor what links you can send in your text messages.
Don’t assume that sites you favor will be immune to censorship. If you support censorship, then don’t bother complaining when it happens to you.
Indeed. I really believe that Hoft is working for the other side.
He’s a professional grifter, preying on the dumbest of the dumbs, IMHO.
I tend to stay away from Gateway Pundit, as well as the Post Millennial and Andy Ngo.
I lived as a lesbian when I was a young adult, but eventually repented of it. I pray these men will too.
Gateway Pundit=Drama queen.
And a very old queen at that.
“It’s the same as the phone company not allowing calls to and from a certain number.”
No. I call get to GP via T-Mobile.
More like censoring you phone call to a friend.
I sometimes used McDonalds wifi about 6 or 7 years ago, and Free Republic was always blocked at that location. Haven’t tried it since then. I assumed it was blocked at every U.S. McDonalds back then.
Praise God for his all-sufficient grace that saved a couple of wretches like us! If any man (or lady) be in Christ he/she is a new creature. Old things are past away, behold all things are become new. Amen! Amen! Amen!
I get those all the time too, I think the blocking was carrier dependent. I use AT&T. As I recall AT&T was not one of the companies involved.
Here is his youtube link which will probably be shut donw.

And his general web.

Tmobile?
Well said. BTW, it isn’t just Gateway Pundit. And it won’t be the end.... it is just the beginning.
I usually don’t do a lot of surfing at restaurants, maybe just bring up the main page and then one or two others. Pizza Hut let me bring up the main FR page but not any other links, and then blocked me from using their internet at all.
McDonalds let me continue to use the net, but let me know FR was blocked. — I live in Iowa... so we’re not too crazy here... Might be getting that way though. :(
