BTW: all cellular carriers have similar text message anti-SPAM measures in place that follow CTIA (Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association) guidelines:

Thank you Drago for pointing this out, it’s something not everyone knows. It’s quite disappointing that Laura Loomer, or whoever composed this original ‘breaking’ news didn’t do their homework.
To those who aren’t aware, this falls in line with the FCC’s Stir/Shaken ruling. Stir/Shaken has been in the works for 2 years and is supposedly finally going into affect sometime in January (deadline has been postponed a few times). The lip service to the public is it’s supposed to cut down on spam calls, (that’s doubtful). However, instead of going after the spamming businesses themselves, what the government is doing is going after the voice service provider, be it cell service or internet (VoIP/SIP), for allowing those spam calls. The bigger cell providers jumped on compliance right away, updated their TOS probably a year ago, and who reads the TOS anyway? It appears that T-Mobile is among some of the last providers to make it public that they’ve complied before the impending deadline.
