Under emergency court order not to deliver
texts? Not delivering tens of thousands of
messages would appear to be abuse of the legal process if it were true.
Scary....

Reading Syniverse's cause of trouble (lame
excuse) tells me their data handling processes
are poor and seemingly shady since I do not buy reason for the trouble.

how do you inadvertently send messages that were
supposed to be sent but worked and sent? Isnât that the desired outcome?

It seems there is a company that has everyone's text messages..
"Some mobile carriers rely on a third-party text
platform called Syniverse to relay messages. The
vendor said in a statement that its IT staff
unknowingly caused the texts to be delivered this week."

Yeah, like who (in the private sector -- we all knew the NSA already
are doing this) has access to and is archiving *everyone*s text
messages? And why?
