Verizon decides to play Big Brother and decide what kind of communication their customers want... Yeah, that's certainly good corporate imaging.
Anybody want to speculate how fast they're going to change their minds? I would guess a day's news cycle should do it.
what the fuck
Well, I use Virgin Mobile, so I don't have to worry about censorship or abortions.
no I'm kidding it's really a fucking travesty (also I have had sex, with other people)
That's the NEW AT&T.
Wow, that is really messed up. Too bad they fixed it so fast. I expect even true conservatives would find this really messed up and scary.
Hey, at least AT&T is a union shop.
And clearly Verizon, for whatever reason, has seen the light of day. Yes, it's one thing to block unsolicited messages, but quite another to block messages customers have already agreed to receive.
This makes no sense to me. The full article says that only people who "sign up" for the messages receive them. That means if you find the messages offensive then it's your own goddamn fault for signing up to receive them.
It also means that NARAL isn't sending indiscriminate spam texts, which is what I thought when I first read this article.
You don't have to use Verizon or AT&T. You should all think about Helio. They're progressive in their attitudes and pricing and services. And the phones have built-in MySpace. No, really, they're great.
"First they came for the Jews". Thanks for that reminder Josh. At a time in racist Seattle where we can't even get a menorah in the airport, we must all be vigilant. Never can we forget the Holocaust, and the goyim must see reminders of it ever day.
