Isn't Twilio a large source of spam from long numbers? I think this is less cut and dry than Twilio makes it out to be. Hopping on the Net Neutrality bandwagon when this doesn't have anything to do with Net Neutrality makes Twilio seem slimy here.

If you want to send messages in bulk, the process is, get a short code, pass carrier testing, then your messages are received. Twilio needs to implement something like complaint feedback, similar to what AWS does for email. If someone reports a message back to code 7726 (SPAM), there's no way to know that. Twilio is big enough that they could work with carriers instead of demanding carriers open the gates to any/every message.
