Verizon Wireless backs off NARAL censoirship

[annabanana]

Got this in response to my complaint about Verizon Wireless censoring texting from NARAL (abortion rights group)

Good Afternoon, and thank you for contacting Verizon Wireless through our website. I appreciate the time you have taken to contact us today. My name is La Toya, and I am happy to assist you.

A company statement this morning announced that the decision to not allow text messaging in this instance was incorrect. Upon learning about the situation, company executives immediately reviewed the decision and determined it was an incorrect interpretation of an early internal policy. That policy was developed before text messaging protections such as spam filters adequately protected customers from unwanted messages. The company has great respect for the free flow of ideas and will continue to protect the ability to communicate broadly through our messaging service.

(emphasis mine)

It's good to be that squeaky wheel sometimes. .
