Spam mitigation and management is a huge bugaboo in wireless networks today.

The big three wireless carriers in the USA today formed a cartel called The Campaign Registry that seeks out TINs/EINs and the SSNs of the owners of Sole Proprietorships and LLCs as part of a lengthy approval process to be allowed to send texts.

It's a great extra judicial rent seeking machine that bans any SHAFT content (sex hate alcohol, tobacco, firearms and anything tangentially related) along with hefty fines for anyone that they feel has crossed said boundaries.

Letting the morality police run amok on our Telecom networks here in the USA is happening, and they also want all the data they can get along with bribes from businesses.

Ajit Pai created the opening for this mess, and the current FCC has done nothing to clean this up (though given recent SCOTUS rulings, who knows if they ever had the authority...)

Tangent, but it's ridiculous that sex is in the same group of undesirables such as firearms, alcohol, tobacco and hate.

That T-Mobile is out here slapping spam mitigation blocks on phone numbers who received SHAFT content from numbers on T-Mobile's network is pretty ridiculous, but silently blocking and providing no appeal or escalation path is just how we let companies operate these days.
