What could possibly go wrong.

Lot's of things, but back to the point, there's still nothing in that article that says they are "going to censor your text messages", but it's inflammatory nature certainly gets the viewership all mad. And 'Big Tech"? Another bogeyman for the Right to caterwaul about.

Are they not in fact censoring if they do not allow what they call misinformation to be texted? And the federal government has exactly NO business interfering with peoples private conversations whether they be in a text or a phone call. Not when it comes to this. The article was correct when it said (and I paraphrase) misinformation according to the left and factual information are often the same. If you didn't see that part read it again. 

The article does say that is what they plan to do- not allow 'misinformation' to be texted. What that looks like exactly is yet to be determined. And that is censorship.
