Re: controversial or unsavory-- how about LEGAL / NORMAL
said by Placebo  :So what if it's legal. That doesn't mean that everyone feels it's morally acceptable. Verizon just wants to avoid a slippery slope here. If they give any political or ideological organization a platform, then they will eventually have to give them all a platform. Today it would be NARAL, tomorrow it might be NAMBLA, the next day it might be the Westboro Baptist Church ...

| I agree... I should be able to receive messages from whoever I want (assuming they're not terrorists).
Whether its abortion, p0rn, warez, George W. Bush, Hillary Clinton, etc.
If VZW or any carrier decides for me that I shouldn't receive a message that I expect to see, then there is an issue.
What happens if I set up my travel plans with American Airlines (worst airlines out there), to SMS me my flight schedule changes, and Verizon decides to block them.
