In a fascist America, this can be expected. In fascism, businesses enforce government policy.

That means, on their system, if you talk about something that doesn’t support liberalism, they will fine you.

That’s why you need to use the Signal app for texting. It encrypts on both ends.

Last summer T-Mobile decided to up-charge their customers 5% if they didn’t give T-Mobile direct bank account debits. At the time, like most, I figured it was a way to avoid losing the 3% associated with credit card charges. Silly me - seems that they wanted direct access to my bank account so that they could pull-out my fines (for this new policy) and then make me fight them to get my money back.

But, as it was, I preferred not to do either (no bank account access, no credit card upcharge), so I dropped them.

Obviously T-Mobile did this at the behest of the US Government, since it clearly did not have a business benefit for them, so I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the government has already reeled in the other major carriers to this new form of censorship.

That would be illegal as a common carrier.

Also, T-Mobile is not a publisher. If they are going to fine "content," then they can also be sued by someone who is offended by content they either miss or choose to allow.

Finally, there is a strong anti-trust argument that T-Mobile is only now in a position to do this due to all the prior mergers in the industry (e.g., Sprint buys Nextel, T-Mobile buys Sprint). Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile are the only major players left in the industry.

In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled Q ~ Trust Trump's Plan ~ 12/24/2023 Vol.483, Q Day 2248,
Michael Protzman 1963-2023
... Protzman’s wife, who was in the midst of divorcing him, told the police that for weeks he had been “not showering or working and believing in government conspiracies.”

... Something, somehow, convinced dozens of his followers to travel to Dallas on Nov. 1, 2021, and join him in Dealey Plaza, where President Kennedy was assassinated nearly 60 years before, and where, Protzman told them, he would reappear the following day, accompanied by his namesake son.

When no resurrection ensued, Protzman led his followers to the venue of a nearby Rolling Stones concert where, he promised, Keith Richards would reveal himself to be J.F.K. Jr. in a mask. When that did not happen, either, they simply stayed in Dallas, taking up residence for months at the Hyatt Regency.

T-Mobile’s Terms of Conduct:

https://www.t-mobile.com/support/public-files/attachments/T-Mobile%20Code%20of%20Conduct.pdf

The “T” in T-Mobile stands for the word “turd.” With A.I. they will know how much t-paper you use and if MAGA is written on your t-shirt.

It regards businesses sending text messages not end users...it fines text message spammers. A very good thing!

My Verizon phon did a mandatory major update a couple weeks ago.

When I “type” on it, I do that glide thing across the letters. It’s never been perfect, and autocorrect has resulted in some weird and sometimes funny stuff. But you could see why it happened; the similarity made sense.

Since this update, sometimes my screen will show a string of not-nice, often racist, words. They’re NOT EVEN CLOSE to my input. And the words will be three in a row. It’s like the keyboard is possessed, or TPTB are setting me up to be “caught”. I know it sounds flaky, but this never has happened before over so many years. They’re not words I would use, but there they are, clear as day. And why three in a row?

Now I try to remember to proofread before posting.

Anybody else notice this?

I retired from T-Mobile, after originally being a Sprint employee.

The left-wing agenda at T-Mobile was ridiculous. We constantly had to watch videos about respecting others life choices. We also had to click a button that said we agree with their position in order to get credit for the mandatory classes.

I was offered an early retirement package a year and a half ago that was simply to good to ignore.

It’s been nice to be free of the corporate culture that’s run largely by activist democrats.

I still work, but in a mundane job that I love.

Just went to Twitter and told T-Mobile exactly what I thought and, almost immediately, Twitter froze my acct.

If my carrier/provider did that to me, I’d drop them in a GD second.
