Hello all. These changes only apply to third-party messaging vendors that send commercial mass messaging campaigns for other businesses. The vendors will be fined if the content they are sending does not meet the standards in our code of conduct, which is in place to protect consumers from illegal or illicit content and aligns to federal and state laws.

Well, two things. You are correct in identifying this as misinformation. This is a change that wolkd be for non-consumer business partners. T-Movile woukd fine them for pumping unlawful or scam/spam messages into the network.
This wouldn't be first Amendment related. 1A woukd only be involved if there were a state actor/government actor involved in this. This is just T-Mobile (a non-state actor) telling business partners not to inject spam or scams into their network, and applying fines to further motivate them to not do so.
