This has to do with their adverstisment not your personal phones messages or consumers in any way. 

 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

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. =)
