AI is being used by major tech companies to censor and control what you can see, read, and discuss online. Similar to what human editors are doing on Facebook, Twitter ETC, radicals who have been empowered to block or tag information they subjectively don’t like, are increasingly stopping the flow of information through the Internet.
And T-Mobile has joined other big tech companies by censoring what content they will allow to be included in texts. Links appear to be sent to a family member or friend but the recipient will not receive any texts containing censored links. Those to who the texts were sent don’t know the links were removed.
T-Mobile just admitted that they get more control over text messages by admitting in a Letter to Missouri Attorney General. The T-Mobile network actively stripping out all Gateway Pundit (TGP) news links from Private Text messages, just like Soviet Russia.

I assume both parties must have Signal for it to work? I know both parties must have ProtonMail for its end-to-end encryption to work.
I use a VPN on my T-Mobile phone. I wonder if that would thwart them?
I checked that link on my laptop, using Firefox. No pop-ups for me.
It is done by content. Keywords in context or by site tags to URL references.
Af least we can starve the private company socialists.
Then add this to the mix by Dem Sen. Klobuchar introducing the bill “Nudge Act” to allow the government to censor. Eastern block being rebuilt but in the West.
I’ve had Signal installed for some time but little usage. Going to switch fulltime now, I guess.
Is this old reporting? This happened 2 months ago and people tracked it down to a T-Mobile Spam blocking app on Android phones. Deleting and reinstalling the app fixed it. Not saying it wasn’t on purpose. I don’t have T-Mobile or an Android phone, so can’t verify. The only way to fix this stuff is to take your dollars elsewhere...
I remember some 10+ years ago when FR showed up on some pretty commonly used firewall block list, and freepers who used that list had to work around it, with some losing access at work. It was a crowd-sourced list and people were maliciously reporting conservative sites.
you should be sending your sms via signal, all conservative platforms should be using it.
You’re a very new Free Republic member, and I’ve never heard of this obscure website you’re posting. I think I’ll pass.
I just reported same to the Mods...
“I just tested it and the links went through.”
You mean kooky theories are getting passed off as fact on the web?
Never would have thought it!
On both sides
This is most likely illegal. This is akin to censoring private conversations. There were demonstrations of this exact thing on patriots.win during and after the “election”.
Young know-it-all liberal techies, digging a grave for the freedoms they’ve done nothing to obtain or protect. Idiocy enshrouded in hubris.
I was thinking of switching to TMobile.
They should be shut down, if this is true.
Take a nap grandpa. Your blog sucks
It is ok because they are a private company.

Yes. The court system in the US will get right on that. Sigh ...
I have noticed canned answers being supplied as responses to Outlook emails and FB posts. They match the content of the messages perfectly, but I’m never use them. One of my friends posted on FB that he hadn’t been feeling well and one of the responses was “Get well soon.”. If these systems can do that, it doesn’t seem too farfetched that they could read any content and act on it.
