Forewarned

Do not comply, do not cooperate and do not talk with any authorities. Remain as inconspicuous as possible.

She has been the spokesperson for a government agency her entire career. When they want to get a message out, they give it to her. Listen to the warning. It’s for real. The feds are the perpetrators.

She does have the con-nections now doesn’t she.

T-Mobile introduce fines from Jan 1 for “Code of Conduct” violations > The non-compliance fine(s) (USD) will be assessed for every Sev-0 violation issued as follows:
> Tier 1: $2,000, for phishing, smishing, and social engineering
> Social Engineering refers to the practice of targeting individuals in a way that manipulates individuals to reveal private information like credit card numbers, or social security numbers.
> Tier 2: $1,000, for illegal content (included content must be legal in all 50 states and federally)
> Illegal content includes, but is not limited to, Cannabis, Marijuana, CBD, Illegal Prescriptions, and Solicitation.
> Tier 3: $500, for all other violations including, but not limited to, SHAFT
> Please review the T-Mobile Code of Conduct Section 5.2 for a list of all disallowed content
Section 5.2 mentions, a.o, gambling, payday loans and work from home programs. The code of conduct also discusses opt out, that high opt-out rates will warrant investigation, etc
This is limited to customers using their “bandwidth” service for sending messages en mass. So, I think this is a good change.
(If it weren’t, it would be very bad, as it would mean discussing where one can get an abortion can cost you $1000, because that isn’t legal in all 50 states)
They also don’t mention how they will enforce those rules. Will they read all messages sent through that service?

SHAFT is a handy acronym to help you remember types of content which is either forbidden or subject to special rules.
S: Secually inappropriate content
H: Hate speech or profanity
A: Alcohol
F: Firearms, and depictions or endorsements of violence
T: Tobacco (including vaping), or endorsement of illegal or illicit drugs, including marijuana and cannabis
In addition to the above, the promotion of gambling is not allowed.

Edit: Actually the 10dlc.org T-Mobile code-of-conduct links to a 2020 pdf. Somebody should probably tell ’em. =)

Hate speech is the favorite catch-all of “things our overlords don’t want you to say.”
I wonder how this affects prepaid users.

Want to post some examples of things that are generally classified as hate speech that you think shouldn’t be?
Would be a million times more of a productive conversation rather than the vague accusations you’re tossing around about “overlords”.
Right now you are just posting a non falsifiable argument and presenting it as though it was a fact.
