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.

      I sent it from my tmo number to my GV number. I can do the inverse as a test too but I don’t think anything will change.

        Try it from GV. My hunch is that the filter is set up for outbound SMS that come from VoIP numbers. Reason: both TNO’s blog post and jmp.chat reports of censorship stem from Mysudo and jmp.chat users, not regular carriers.
