T-Mobile Rolls Out New Fine Policies For “Hate Speech”

Beneath everyone’s nose telecommunications titan T-Mobile updated its terms of service to include fines if certain user content violates its guidelines for “hate speech and profanities.”
According to Didi Rankovic of Reclaim the Net these regulations are applicable to marketing texts (application to person, A2P – commercial and enterprise service), as opposed to individual consumers. For example, businesses and campaigns emailing individuals will be subjected to these types of penalties.
The timing of this development is rather curious given that the 2024 presidential election is right around the corner.
At the center of this policy is a focus on confronting SHAFT – Sex, Hate, Alcohol, Firearms, and Tobacco. With respect to SHAFT, those who violate it will be subject to $500 fines.
What T-Mobile is doing here is typical of major corporations these days. Corporations of this stature tend to serve as privatized enforcers of the managerial state.
In many respects, the federal government’s unprecedented expansion has forever changed American corporate culture. Many of these corporations follow in the Feds’ footsteps and emulate its Big Brother and civil liberties-destroying policies.
The many threats we face aren’t just coming from the government. There’s a large segment of the private sector that is more than willing to attack our freedoms. For that reason, the Right, once its members gain power, should use prudential state powers to bring companies like T-Mobile to heel for their anti-American policies.
If this can’t be done, America will live under a corporate dystopia.
