In recent weeks, I’ve noticed a rise in censorship regarding SMS communication that’s not being discussed. At all. I’m concerned that it may become a slippery slope that eventually effects us all. I don’t have any dramatic, prose-ridden introduction this week. Just some news, facts, and observations I wanted to share. So this week, follow me down the rabbit hole as I explore an existing but rising threat to our free speech and what we can do about it.
Hold on here is this really true?
I think if texts are failing to send because of swearing this would be headline news as it would affect so many people.
Sort of? It looks like this is unique to SMS over VOIP. Which don’t get me wrong, it’s still fucking stupid. But maybe, just maybe there’s a middle ground between getting inundated in robocallers trying to reach us about our cars extended warranty and not being able to send the word Scunthorpe over SMS.
