The FCC's announcement is particularly troubling because it does not

The FCC's announcement is particularly troubling because it does not just apply to text messages sent or received through a service—it also applies to email, text messages sent from mobile devices that are in the "unbound" category, or when recipients send or receive text messages from other devices. In effect, text messaging is a service that requires a service provider to deliver the messages to its customers. While the FCC says that the new rules will allow providers to block people who violate their privacy, the rules would also prohibit providers from collecting customer information on their customers even if they do not provide that information to the recipient.

This kind of blocking is a serious violation of privacy and security. If the FCC were to rule on this issue, it would have the effect of creating a broad national privacy and security issue, especially for the US and other nations that rely on telcos and other third parties to maintain their networks.
