Not just gateway pundit. My wife is having trouble with links to discussions about covid.

We have been monitoring the pastor who is was arrested in Canada again. Pastor Artur Pawlowski. Coming to America.

Wake up! You are next... if you are a Christian, be concerned.

And pray...

Interesting. Thanks. ATT owns and controls the Internet backbone.. per Rob Braxman.

BTW, I was able to email the link. So it is only associated with tmobile. I don't have ATT so I cannot check it.

Anyway, it appears to be related to the tmobile network system. If they use ATT then that might explain it.

“ Tmobile?”

Yes, formerly Sprint. Using iPhone.

iPhone messaging is handled by Apple. If you turn off Apple’s messaging briefly in your settings, does the SMS text handled by T-Mobile get filtered?

“Wow. So you are okay with big tech censorship? Who cares who is being blocked. Who is next?”

No.

I am saying your promulgation of GP articles is de facto monetary support of homosexual pedophilia.

“Wish FR would block GP. Nothing but clickbait.”

Spoken like a true Marxist. Any other media outlets you wish banned?

I have had computers and cell phones for so long that when I started, a cell phone was as big as a brick and about as heavy and a portable computer was carried in a case the size of a suitcase.

But I still have no idea how the internet actually works.

However, that said, no message of any kind leaves either my cell or my computer without first going through T-Mobile.Look at my T-Mobile invoice and it lists my cell, my wife’s cell, my lap top, my wife’s tablet and both of our routers, each with their own numbers of course.

Therefore regardless of what Apple does, unless they were to encrypt it in such a way as to be unreadable by T-Mobile, T-Mobile could modify or shoot the message down.

So what am I missing?

I forgot to add that it could be that the links are being wiped by the recipient’s IP or something in route. For instance, if you look at the headers in a simple email, it is amazing how many servers they go through for a destination even as close as the next state.

As for the recipient’s ISP, try sending yourself or anyone else a virus.

In testing my anti-virus system, I have been unable to send one to myself as my ISP shoots them down.

Now I know the real spooks have a way around that but here we are talking about ordinary people sending ordinary text.

What about odysee? Whats next?

I am not going to try to convince you that what the censors are doing is wrong is wrong. Good luck when something that you like is censored. It will come home to roost.

Ya, apparently encrypting the text message gets through the filter.

“Anyone who posts anything from GP is knowingly supporting homosexual pedophilia...”

Did you just say “That is OK anyhow?”

And this is why we are losing this war. “Selective denial of rights and censorship is just fine”.

THE FR OR YOUR RELIGIOUS GROUP IS NEXT FROM AT&T, VERIZON, COMCAST...

THE FR IS PORN TO DEMOCRATS. What happens when they use that same argument?

And here is why we are losing the war. Selective hypocrisy. I just can’t believe how many would applaud phone carriers censoring access. No one is intelligent enough to see the writing on the wall? WE HERE AT THE FR ARE NEXT.

That is OK though, at least they got the ones we don’t like first. Now all we have is what THEY will let us have. But it is OK GP is gone.

Wake up! We can’t support ANY of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wish FR would block GP. Nothing but clickbait.

Speaking of clickbait, FR used to block Alex Jones. Do you think that block should be reinstated?

“So it has begun and with the support of so called conservatives. Wonderful.”

I cannot believe it, total self defeating ignorance. Absolutely willing to give away their own God given freedom and rights to the tyranny of the devil.

They are aiding and abetting the agenda of the antichrist. Incredible...

Blue iPhone messages are handled by Apple & are encrypted. T-Mobile shouldn’t be able to alter that traffic.

Your green messages get sent through T-Mobile’s gateway, which means they could be filtered.

At some point, the carriers were implementing Google’s RCS for SMS, which would handle your green messages. Some information is below:

Once Google’s hand is in those enhanced SMS messages, is T-Mobile the culprit?

Somebody needs to ask how those (green + Android) messages are being routed before blaming T-Mobile.

I’m with T-Mobile & have no complaints.

Is Google’s hand in this, since they own the enhanced SMS standard?

Very interesting. Thanks.

But raises another question.

If one sends a message by signal, which requires my iphone to function, does that mean it is encrypted by both signal and Apple?

I absolutely despise Apple’s message feature and never use it other than to reply to one received on that system.
