Excerpt from linked Article by Egbe Ogu
"In a surprising move, T-Mobile, one of the leading phone service providers in the United States, has recently updated its Terms of Service (TOS) to include fines for content that they deem objectionable. This development has sparked concerns among users and raised questions about the extent of control that phone companies now have over the content we consume. Beginning on January 1, 2024, T-Mobile will start imposing fines on users who commit perceived violations on their bandwidth. This article aims to explore the implications of this policy change and its potential impact on users’ freedom of expression."

BREAKING:
@TMobile
has quietly updated their TOS to include fines for content they don’t agree with.Beginning on January 1, 2024, they will be fining users who commit perceived violations on their bandwidth.
Who knew in America that the phone providers would now be policing the content of your text messages to fine you.
S.H.A.F.T. is an acronym that stands for Sex, Hate, Alcohol, Firearms, and Tobacco. It outlines the categories of text messages specifically regulated due to moral and legal issues and is monitored and enforced by the Cellular Telephone Industries Association (CTIA) and the mobile carriers.
Who gets to determine what is and isn’t “hateful”?
Will political text messages be censored now as well going into 2024?
This is what
@comcast
did to me in 2019/2020 when I ran for Congress. I warned people that it would happen to others when nobody did anything to stop this when it happened to me as a congressional candidate!Nice TOS date change! Just in time for the GOP primary and 2024 presidential election!
Nothing to see here!
Yes you are.
Yes you are.
It also means we have to start speaking in code.
Thanks RN!

Just went to Twitter and told T-Mobile exactly what I thought and, almost immediately, Twitter froze my acct.
The word “pizza” is already taken, apparently.

If my carrier/provider did that to me, I’d drop them in a GD second.
for weeks he had been “not showering or working and believing in government conspiracies.”I hope you plan to wash for the New Year.
