Nope. All of this is bullshit - text messages are a paid service on the carrier networks, and it is simply not technically viable to censor billions of text messages - even assuming the carriers were dumb enough to go along with this moronic idea. Messing with paid services on the carrier networks is very different from messing with the free social media on the Internet...
Notice these are just "plans", and I expect them to quietly fade away.
I can't figure out if the Dims are really this stupid, is pure desperation to censor injection and audit info making them this stupid, or are white hats forcing them to act this stupid? Maybe a combination of all 3...
It really beggars belief how stupid some of these pronouncements are. What's even more stunning is some smooth brains will still think this is just politics as usual. I think you're right. Censoring texts is impractical at best. If it was implemented the whack-a-mole info suppression game would move to a new level. Imagine the opportunity for a sole carrier to say they won't censor text messages like pre 7/13/21.
Cell phones are utilities? We are paying for this service. So can utilities now stop services if they disapprove of their customers?
