Unfortunately I have a friend who has Verizon which is also doing it...so probably no one is safe.

Patriot Mobile.

" pretty conservative URLs" are a nice thought but tgp seems to be the Target. I tested with many and only those were affected. I don't believe in coincidences anymore.

As a data point my phone has no tmo apps on it. Its straight from Moto and is affected.

After more than a decade its time to let all the little hipsters has their fish bowl to themselves.

Already porting to pure talk for cheaper better coverage.

I’ve tested sending some pretty conservative URLs and they all go through. I can’t help because I can’t reproduce the problem. 

T-Mobile is censoring text messages between individuals, proven with the fix below. See the other communty question "Trying to send a link from the gateway pundit via text and if the link is in the text it won't send."

It's confirmed real, should be illegal, contacting your state AG is in order.

There is a FIX. We confirmed this issue on our phone. Tested with T-Mobile. Tech found problem is "scam shield" a T-Mobile app. Fix is remove scam shield.Then go to Play store, reinstall.

One phone had issue, other two never did. Only reinstalled on one phone with the issue and it fixed it

We checked Scam Shield settings before deleting it. We did not find any setting to account for this.

Scam Shield has "Favorites" which is supposed to whitelist sources but Favoring the sender didn't fix it

Scam Shield has an adult/malicious site blocker. It was not on.

Unbelievable.   What else will they censor?   Who decides what we get to see?  I am so pissed off.  A loyal customer for 15 years.

I dropped Verizon Wireless for T-Mobile years back.  If T-Mobile no longer wants Conservatives on their network, I will be more than happy to take my business elsewhere as well as dumping my measly 183 shares of TMUS.

Verizon is blocking bitchute and possibly this too...I am awaiting a text from my friend to see if it blocks it.

My wife did a search of our text messages. The last time she received a gateway pundit link was 9/15/2021.

I send at least one a day. Usually several a day.

Start using telegram/signal. Only options apparently. Gateway pundit also has their own telegram channel.

I have witnessed links being blocked from being sent to my friends. Only certain links of their choosing though. I made a post too.
