Spam filtering is clearly not the accusation that was laid out. On Wed, Aug 17, 2022 at 11:48 AM Hunter Fuller <hf0002+nanog@uah.edu> wrote:
I wouldn't call it a serious claim. By their own admission T-Mobile filters messages based on content.

Now, there is no indication I'm aware of, that it is political in nature. But they do, factually, throw away messages based on their content.

It's a pretty serious claim to say that cell providers were selectively
not delivering messages based on content.
Unless you have some more concrete evidence beyond "I sent a few texts"
, this list is no place for such things, nor the insinuation of political agendas.

During Covid hysteria cellular carriers were definitly scrubbing text messages that contained things against whatever the agenda was.
There was no errors from the cellular carriers that the message didn't go through, it just never arrived to the destination. Tested it first hand, T-Mobile to Verizon, T-Mobile to AT&T and vice versa. Payload was links to a few websites that weren't popular with the left, like that Doctor Robert Malone guy. These were not using URL shorteners that are sometimes considered spam.
