Re: Time to leave Tmobile.
A few things should be pointed out and discussed. First, that whole "we're doing this for your protection, don't worry about it" show is a red flag if I ever saw one. Of course they're going to lean on that. The motive is clearly censorship and sociopolitical influence. Otherwise, the terms discussed would be STRICTLY limited to spamlike content and not things like "illegal activity" or "misinformation". Speaking of that, WHO gets to decide what is misinformation and what isn't? A mobile carrier? No, they need to stay in their own lane. Circling around to mobile carriers, I see Patriot Mobile mentioned a few times. Don't fall for their marketing bs, because guess what, they're an MVNO which means they do not have their own network infrastructure. Patriot as well as any other MVNO must rely on a network provider and in doing so, has to play by THEIR rules. You might be interested to know that one of their partners is....drumroll, T-MOBILE! Just like Wal-Mart, just like Mint and that's why I am here. My service provider falls under T-Mobile so ultimately this affects me and practically anyone else who uses an MVNO that uses the T-Mobile network and sorry to tell you, Patriot too. They will HAVE to abide by T-Mobiles way of doing things. All of this is of course moot from a usage standpoint if you're using a fairly current smartphone that uses RCS in lieu of standard SMS, since it's encrypted end-to-end. Basically only your recipient and yourself can see the content. This however does not change the fact that your money is landing in the pockets of a company with such draconian policies, and ultimately that's up to you to decide if thats an issue.3Visto0likes0Comentarios
