Just tried to send a friend a story about Parkinson’s from lemmy.world and every single time TMobile strips the link from my SMS. They let tumblr.com though.

I just looked up if they’re actively censoring other sites and, yes. They are. They claim they’re only doing this to obscure domains (.xyz and so on) but I just watched a YouTuber demonstrate .com censorship too. So it seems it’s less arbitrary than they claim.

The conservatives are crying about it like it’s just them getting censored but it seems it’s beyond party lines if I can’t share an article about Parkinson’s research.

      Consider possibly sending a letter of complaint to the Cali Atty Gen and your state’s Atty Gen as well as Consumer Affairs and the BBB.

        Not a bad idea! Being censored by a regulated telecom has to break some rule somewhere. On it!
