Common carrier status is often implied as part fo a generic communications
service. I had to deal with this 30 years ago with RCC(radio common
carrier) otherwise known as UHF repeaters. We were if anything indirectly
responseable for FCC language mandates if not by law certainly by possible
civil penelty. So if we had a customer that tended to run a little hard
with a seven deadly dirty words it was a risk to us as well. So it was a
condition of service or else...
