THIS IS NUTS:
T-Mobile changed their TOS to institute FINES for customers sending "non-compliant traffic". This includes S.H.A.F.T (Sex, Hate, Alcohol, Firearms, and Tobacco) related content. š¤¦āāļø

Wait so I get a $1000 charge if I send a pic of snoop dog smoking a joint to my friend group š
Lol. People will go elsewhere when the options open up.
America. Land of the free. What the actual fuck is happening
Currently selling my stock in TMUS.
Yet another reason to pay for and utilize a competent VPN?
Doesnāt a VPN just hide from the ISP and expose you to the VPN provider.
Best if the VPN provider canāt identify you through payment methods, but no logs is no logs.
Yep, but the ISP is much more important to shield traffic from. A no logs VPN with options for wise node and exit location choices is an excellent privacy start. A person can run TOR inside the VPN to obfuscate traffic from the VPN provider.
Time to start communicating through SATSLINKS š¤

How are they even going to enforce this? I mean if internet traffic is encrypted
From what I've read this seems to apply only for SMS, MMS and similar services, not for internet, or am I getting it wrong?
Here is the link that is in the image āT-mobile Code of Conductā Iām not going to get in a fight with anyone over this but I think they way everyone is interpreting this is probably wrong.
https://www.t-mobile.com/support/public-files/attachments/T-Mobile%20Code%20of%20Conduct.pdf
Everything in the document reads as if it applies only to ānon-consumerā messaging campaigns. Skimming it sounds like it applies to services from marketers or other or automated interactive campaigns like when people are instructed to text āmusicā to 242567. And people have to send āSTOPā to get them off out of the chain. It appears to be a code of conduct for those kinds of interactions where T mobile would fine entities if they do not follow those guidelines designed to give their customers a expected pleasant interaction and avoid consumers labeling that activity as spam. It does not appear to be directed at individuals talking to each other over SMS or the internet. But thatās just my read.
Your link says 2020 terms.
The screenshot I saw was referring to 2024.
But I came to read yours because:
Don't trust; verify. š¤
That is the link from this page:
https://support.bandwidth.com/hc/en-us/articles/19939626519575-New-non-compliance-fees-on-January-1
So I think itās fake. The code of conduct they are linking to is 2020.
Fake maybe too strong I didnāt see any of the fees claimed in the summary in the more detailed thing they linked to and as you point out the code of conduct is 2020. Either way I donāt think itās related to consumer communications or traffic but you all can decide what you want to think. Merry Christmas!
ESG Credit Score, This Is Applied Social Justice
From what I can tell this has nothing to do with user-end interactions; this policy seems to apply to third party services (like Broadband) interacting with the T-Mobile network, and the aim is to cut down on spam.

They can suck my shaft.
So basically, it's time for always-on VPN? lmao
They really DO think they can do whatever... insane.
LOL. SMS.
