I hapeen to agree with Ron here, but my guess is that T-Mo is doing spam filtering, not making political statements.
For anyone who's been living under a rock. SMS spam is a huge problem, and recognizing domains that
have appeared in spam before, of whatever kind, is a fairly reliable way to recognize more spam so
they can block it.
R's,

PS: If anyone were thinking of arguing that all spam filtering is evil, please don't.
