> The non-compliance fine(s) (USD) will be assessed for every Sev-0 violation issued as follows:

> Tier 1: $2,000, for phishing, smishing, and social engineering

> Social Engineering refers to the practice of targeting individuals in a way that manipulates individuals to reveal private information like credit card numbers, or social security numbers.

> Tier 2: $1,000, for illegal content (included content must be legal in all 50 states and federally)

> Illegal content includes, but is not limited to, Cannabis, Marijuana, CBD, Illegal Prescriptions, and Solicitation.

> Tier 3: $500, for all other violations including, but not limited to, SHAFT

> Please review the T-Mobile Code of Conduct Section 5.2 for a list of all disallowed content

Section 5.2 mentions, a.o, gambling, payday loans and work from home programs. The code of conduct also discusses opt out, that high opt-out rates will warrant investigation, etc

This is limited to customers using their “bandwidth” service for sending messages en mass. So, I think this is a good change.

(If it weren’t, it would be very bad, as it would mean discussing where one can get an abortion can cost you $1000, because that isn’t legal in all 50 states)

They also don’t mention how they will enforce those rules. Will they read all messages sent through that service?
