When I can back to the United States in 2018 after being abroad for several years, I started saying that the censorship here was worse than China. Obviously this was a hot take. But my thesis is that at least in China, the rules are clear. They’re very black and white about their censorship. In the US, there was still a charade. Many people thought I was crazy but 2020 woke many people up. Started on January 1, 2024 @TMobile will begin fining customers for speech they don’t like. Not limited to but including SHAFT content. What’s that? 👇🏼 S: Sexually 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 The charade that they’re “not” reading the content of your text messages is over. The charade that the first amendment still stands, is over. The charade that Americans are not subject to politically objective “hate speech” regulations, is over. I genuinely don’t know what the answer is. I’m not sure there is one. But awareness is extremely important. Speak up.
