A Rising Enforcement of Censorship — The New Oil

In recent weeks, I’ve noticed a rise in censorship regarding SMS communication that’s not being discussed. At all. I’m concerned that it may become a slippery slope that eventually effects us all. I don’t have any dramatic, prose-ridden introduction this week. Just some news, facts, and observations I wanted to share. So this week, follow me down the rabbit hole as I explore an existing but rising threat to our free speech and what we can do about it.

For context, I am a MySudo user. I have expressed criticisms in the past with their podcast, and their marketing continues to grate on my nerves. I have said many times I want to explore some additional VoIP options, but I haven’t made the time. For now, it works – about as well as any other VoIP app, which is “not well but good enough most of the time, I guess” – so it just hasn’t been a priority.

Those who follow me on my personal Mastodon or the podcast on Patreon have probably noticed I like to curse. A lot. No real reason for it, to be honest. I don’t think it makes me sound tough or cool – in fact, I recognize it probably turns some people off – but as former military, it just feels natural and comfortable to drop some curse words to highlight my point. I like hyperbolic humor. So it probably won’t come as a surprise when I say “I send curse words via message a lot.”
