Verizon Blocks Messages of Abortion Rights Group |
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/27/us/27verizon.html?ei=5090&en=8007c3a701c8265d&ex=1348545600&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss&pagewanted=print
Saying it had the right to block "controversial or unsavory" text
messages, Verizon Wireless has rejected a request from Naral Pro-
Choice America, the abortion rights group, to make Verizon's mobile
network available for a text-message program.
The other leading wireless carriers have accepted the program, which
allows people to sign up for text messages from Naral by sending a
message to a five-digit number known as a short code.
Text messaging is a growing political tool in the United States and a
dominant one abroad, and such sign-up programs are used by many
political candidates and advocacy groups to send updates to
supporters.
But legal experts said private companies like Verizon probably have
the legal right to decide which messages to carry. The laws that
forbid common carriers from interfering with voice transmissions on
ordinary phone lines do not apply to text messages.
The dispute over the Naral messages is a skirmish in the larger battle
over the question of "net neutrality" - whether carriers or Internet
service providers should have a voice in the content they provide to
customers.
"This is right at the heart of the problem," said Susan Crawford, a
visiting professor at the University of Michigan law school, referring
to the treatment of text messages. "The fact that wireless companies
can choose to discriminate is very troubling."
In turning down the program, Verizon, one of the nation's two largest
wireless carriers, told Naral that it does not accept programs from
any group "that seeks to promote an agenda or distribute content that,
in its discretion, may be seen as controversial or unsavory to any of
our users." Naral provided copies of its communications with Verizon
to The New York Times.

Maybe Verizon management is sick of the treason of the homosexual and
pro-choice criminal fronts and they have seen how disastrous those criminal
groups are to their bottom line in their obligation to the stockholders as
they are also sick of the militaristic bent of the USA in its expatriation
of domestic tax dollars game.
And, rather than prosecuting the sects for treason they may have decided to
honor the Constitution and to distance themselves from the AIDS propagation
freaks and the potential of having on record, even if in secret, a death
that they had a part in creating somehow.
Maybe Mexicans have got on their board and are making them change their
policies.
Who knows?
As a stockholder in Verizon, I am in favor of stopping the counterproductive
agendas of the lax sects in this nation.

No, I'm in disagreement with their allowing you to own stock. Why are
you buying stock with taxpayers' money anyway? Beggars aren't
supposed to have more money than it takes to exist. Maybe the
government should take another look at your income and cut your
payments back to what you need.

Your intolerance and criminal intent is shown.
Why are you buying stock with taxpayers' money anyway?
With taxpapery's money?
Seems to me you are against the NASD now and the government and all state
retirement funds that invest in the stock market.
Can you answer why they are buying stock with the taxpayer's money?
Beggars aren't supposed to have more money than it takes to exist.
I'm not a beggar, you breast cancer cure beggar.
I did not induce breast cancer in the women who overdosed on birth control
pills and had hormnal imbalancing abortions.
Maybe the government should take another look at your income and cut your
payments back to what you need.
The government is forbidden from interfering with my personal assets.

You forgot to use the actual description of the progam which calls it
retirement, survivors and disability INSURANCE!
I paid premiums and qualified for the amount I receive via examination and
the mandated formula.
Since you aren't disabled enough to not work, you don't actually

The 4th amendment denies anyone the right to terminate the compensation that
was awarded to me by statute without fair and just compensation.
Are you lobbying for a lump sum conversion for me so I can forego the

"It provides cash to meet basic needs for food, clothing, and

SSA does not have any restrictions on the use of the funds that are paid to
the beneficiaries.
I am not subject to any restrictions on the use of the funds that are paid
for my benefit.
Why don't you tell the NASD that you are against the government allowing the
use of public funds for stock purchases?
I am sure that in Long Island you wouldn't make many friends in that stock
salesmans' city.

You are lying then; and, you are accusing the government of committing fraud
in making their determination.
since you ARE

What form of involuntary servitude are you suggesting I perform?
Get a job, freeloader.
Involuntary servitude is illegal.
Voluntary starvation isn't.
Yet, you are who is volunterring that and not for yourself, so start setting
the example by giving me all your money and assets and future income and I
will notify the SSA that I can forego their payments to me if the statutes
require such, and starve voluntarily; but, as for me I enjoy eating drinking
and being merry.
The government isn't required to support
you if you're capable of supporting yourself.
Is that what you tell widows and orphans and retirees?
LOL!
You are a liar when your words are measured against the laws that govern the
SSA and its programs.

It's called Supplemental Security Income, it's not retirement or

receive it.)

Only in your twisted insane interpretation. in actuality, payments
received due to fraudulent application can not only be stopped, they
can be recouped. IOW, the government can require that you pay back
all the money you received.
Are you lobbying for a lump sum conversion for me so I can forego the
mandated payments?
No, I'm advocating that the government stop supporting lumps like you.
"It provides cash to meet basic needs for food, clothing, and
shelter." But not to buy stocks with.
SSA does not have any restrictions on the use of the funds that are paid to
the beneficiaries.
Where did you get SSA? I'm talking about the SSI checks you've
claimed you get.
Are you saying they will go back on their word?
I'm saying you're collecting payments fraudulently,
You are lying then; and, you are accusing the government of committing fraud
in making their determination.
If you lie to them they're not the ones committing fraud.
since you ARE
capable of working.
Doing what?
You can type on a computer, and people earn livings doing that, so
you're not disabled to the point that you can't earn a living.
Claiming that you are is fraud.
Get a job, freeloader.
Involuntary servitude is illegal.
Voluntary starvation isn't.
Yet, you are who is volunterring that
All I'm volunteering is that you either work or starve. No one has
the responsibility of supporting you but you.
The government isn't required to support
you if you're capable of supporting yourself.
Is that what you tell widows and orphans and retirees?
Widows who are old enough to collect SS, and retirees, are entitled to
SS payments. Orphans too young to work are entitled to SS and/or SSI
payments. Others, unless they're too disabled to earn a living,
aren't - like you.
But not to worry - the state prison supplies everything you need, so
you won't need money until you get out. *IF* you get out.

all the money you received.
*****.
I did not make the determination, and I did not commit any fraud in my
application.
Are you lobbying for a lump sum conversion for me so I can forego the
mandated payments?
No, I'm advocating that the government stop supporting lumps like you.
Is that why they didn't and won't without me finding a suitable replacement?
AFAIK, the code doesn't allow them to take away any of the compensation in
my case unless I obtain employment that elevates me to a sufficient income
level to do so, and that on a sliding scale basis..
And, since you say you are advocating that they terminate the payments that
are made to me, you could be investigated for conducting a criminal agenda.
"It provides cash to meet basic needs for food, clothing, and
shelter." But not to buy stocks with.
SSA does not have any restrictions on the use of the funds that are paid
to
the beneficiaries.
Where did you get SSA? I'm talking about the SSI checks you've
claimed you get.
What SSI checks?
Why can't you understand that I am not on SSI.
Are you saying they will go back on their word?
I'm saying you're collecting payments fraudulently,
You are lying then; and, you are accusing the government of committing
fraud
in making their determination.
If you lie to them they're not the ones committing fraud.
Why would I want to lie to them in the first place?
I have no motivation to lie to them.
since you ARE
capable of working.
Doing what?
You can type on a computer, and people earn livings doing that, so
you're not disabled to the point that you can't earn a living.
Claiming that you are is fraud.
You wanna try all the things that happened to me to put me in this position?
Get a job, freeloader.
Involuntary servitude is illegal.
Voluntary starvation isn't.
Yet, you are who is volunterring that
All I'm volunteering is that you either work or starve.
Why?
No one has the responsibility of supporting you but you.
True that the social security system does not require any ONE to support me
any.
Do you now understand the concept of millions of persons contributing via
premiums that are established via formula to fund this insurance program for
the benefit of the beneficiaries?
Seems to me you are some profiteering type who wants to charge excessive
rates to persons for survivors, retirees and disabiltiy insurance.
Yeah, you live in that new york racketeering thing that like to profit off
of such plans.
Everyone knows that your madison avenue advertisement machine that you like
to get everything you got in that cushy lifestyle for some reason
irrationally causes you to dislike the programs that aren't enriching which
are helping millions of persons, huh?
The government isn't required to support
you if you're capable of supporting yourself.
Is that what you tell widows and orphans and retirees?
Widows who are old enough to collect SS,
Survivors insurance does not require widows or widowers or orphans or heads
of households to be any stated age.
and retirees, are entitled to SS payments.
DUH!
Orphans too young to work are entitled to SS and/or SSI
payments. Others, unless they're too disabled to earn a living,
aren't - like you.
Accusing the government of fraud again?
Is that some sort of job offer you are making?
And, how about that involuntasry servitude thing?
Why is it you can not comprehend that I am not required to work for you or
for any stock company you may have stock in?
But not to worry - the state prison supplies everything you need,
No, they don't.
They supply very little of what I need.
so you won't need money until you get out.
Very much a lie.
*IF* you get out.
I do not plan to go 'in'.

Maybe Verizon management is sick of the treason of the homosexual and
pro-choice criminal fronts
I would be, too - if they were actually criminal fronts, and not merely
pro-choice groups or gay groups.
I'm *sure* you're correctly differentiating those, right?

I own stock in verizon corporation.
I agree with their agenda to disallow any criminal organization from using

But, rebellious idiot that you and your ilk are, such persons will expose
themselves and their racketeering activities because they have the ability
to record every communication that NARAL puts through their system; and any

That is why they can not honor any corporation that forbids free exercise of

prohibits free exercise of religion in the USA.

http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/070927/nyth062.html?.v=101
BASKING RIDGE, N.J., Sept. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- On Wednesday, September
26, Verizon Wireless received a letter from NARAL regarding the
company's policy on text messaging. The following statement may be
attributed to Jeffrey Nelson, spokesperson for Verizon Wireless.
ADVERTISEMENT
"The decision to not allow text messaging on an important, though
sensitive, public policy issue was incorrect, and we have fixed the
process that led to this isolated incident.
"Upon learning about this situation, senior Verizon Wireless
executives immediately reviewed the decision and determined it was an
incorrect interpretation of a dusty internal policy. That policy,
developed before text messaging protections such as spam filters
adequately protected customers from unwanted messages, was designed to
ward against communications such as anonymous hate messaging and adult
materials sent to children.
"Verizon Wireless is proud to provide services such as text messaging,
which are being harnessed by organizations and individuals
communicating their diverse opinions about issues and topics. We have
great respect for this free flow of ideas and will continue to protect
the ability to communicate broadly through our messaging service."

Saying it had the right to block "controversial or unsavory" text
messages, Verizon Wireless has rejected a request from Naral Pro-
Choice America, the abortion rights group, to make Verizon's mobile
network available for a text-message program.
The other leading wireless carriers have accepted the program, which
allows people to sign up for text messages from Naral by sending a
message to a five-digit number known as a short code.
Text messaging is a growing political tool in the United States and a
dominant one abroad, and such sign-up programs are used by many
political candidates and advocacy groups to send updates to
supporters.
But legal experts said private companies like Verizon probably have
the legal right to decide which messages to carry. The laws that
forbid common carriers from interfering with voice transmissions on
ordinary phone lines do not apply to text messages.
The dispute over the Naral messages is a skirmish in the larger battle
over the question of "net neutrality" - whether carriers or Internet
service providers should have a voice in the content they provide to
customers.
"This is right at the heart of the problem," said Susan Crawford, a
visiting professor at the University of Michigan law school, referring
to the treatment of text messages. "The fact that wireless companies
can choose to discriminate is very troubling."
In turning down the program, Verizon, one of the nation's two largest
wireless carriers, told Naral that it does not accept programs from
any group "that seeks to promote an agenda or distribute content that,
in its discretion, may be seen as controversial or unsavory to any of
our users." Naral provided copies of its communications with Verizon
to The New York Times.

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., Sept. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- On Wednesday, September
26, Verizon Wireless received a letter from NARAL regarding the
company's policy on text messaging. The following statement may be
attributed to Jeffrey Nelson, spokesperson for Verizon Wireless.
ADVERTISEMENT
"The decision to not allow text messaging on an important, though
sensitive, public policy issue was incorrect, and we have fixed the
process that led to this isolated incident.
"Upon learning about this situation, senior Verizon Wireless
executives immediately reviewed the decision and determined it was an
incorrect interpretation of a dusty internal policy. That policy,
developed before text messaging protections such as spam filters
adequately protected customers from unwanted messages, was designed to
ward against communications such as anonymous hate messaging and adult
materials sent to children.
"Verizon Wireless is proud to provide services such as text messaging,
which are being harnessed by organizations and individuals
communicating their diverse opinions about issues and topics. We have
great respect for this free flow of ideas and will continue to protect
the ability to communicate broadly through our messaging service."
The solution is easy...
I have Verizon myself. Just don't sign up for the Text Messaging service,
it's a waste of money anyway.
I specifically gave Verizon instructions I don't want text messaging or
their advertisements and I haven't had any.

Saying it had the right to block "controversial or unsavory" text
messages, Verizon Wireless has rejected a request from Naral Pro-
Choice America, the abortion rights group, to make Verizon's mobile
network available for a text-message program.
The other leading wireless carriers have accepted the program, which
allows people to sign up for text messages from Naral by sending a
message to a five-digit number known as a short code.
Text messaging is a growing political tool in the United States and a
dominant one abroad, and such sign-up programs are used by many
political candidates and advocacy groups to send updates to
supporters.
But legal experts said private companies like Verizon probably have
the legal right to decide which messages to carry. The laws that
forbid common carriers from interfering with voice transmissions on
ordinary phone lines do not apply to text messages.
The dispute over the Naral messages is a skirmish in the larger battle
over the question of "net neutrality" - whether carriers or Internet
service providers should have a voice in the content they provide to
customers.
"This is right at the heart of the problem," said Susan Crawford, a
visiting professor at the University of Michigan law school, referring
to the treatment of text messages. "The fact that wireless companies
can choose to discriminate is very troubling."
In turning down the program, Verizon, one of the nation's two largest
wireless carriers, told Naral that it does not accept programs from
any group "that seeks to promote an agenda or distribute content that,
in its discretion, may be seen as controversial or unsavory to any of
our users." Naral provided copies of its communications with Verizon
to The New York Times.

Recent phones already carry that capapbility whether you sign up for a
text plan or not. The service plans allow you to 'save money' on their
exorbitant cost per message charges - I suppose.
I specifically gave Verizon instructions I don't want text messaging or
their advertisements and I haven't had any.
