Partly fits

Signal Chatpartial · 48

Signal is a privacy-first messaging app that can replace insecure channels and reduce reliance on regular SMS for conversations.

Won’t cover: It is a separate messaging platform and does not automatically detect or block incoming SMS/MMS from carriers.

CRM Messaging Mobile Apppartial · 46

It consolidates SMS into a single inbox and offers message management features that could make it easier to identify repeat senders.

Won’t cover: Its core purpose is CRM and it does not advertise automatic political-content detection or carrier-level blocking of SMS/MMS.

SMS to Email Forwarderpartial · 44

This tool forwards incoming SMS to email, which could let you route messages into an email-based filter or archive for manual triage.

Won’t cover: Forwarding copies messages rather than preventing delivery, so it does not itself detect or block political-style SMS/MMS before they reach your phone.

httpSMSpartial · 40

As an SMS gateway for developers, it can programmatically receive and process texts, which a developer could use to build custom detection or blocking logic.

Won’t cover: It is a developer-focused gateway and not an out-of-the-box consumer app that automatically detects and blocks political content in your device inbox.
