MODERATORS
I just tested this myself between tmo and GV and no censorship here.
We will need to watch closely because this might be a experiment that only applies to a few people.
I did too, just within TMobile in the US, using the s*** word. Went through just fine.
I texted myself "fuck this" and it went through no problem.
Seems to affect VoIP carriers, I reckon.
GV is a voip carrier.
The message sending "bad" words came from T-mobile or GV?
I sent it from my tmo number to my GV number. I can do the inverse as a test too but I don't think anything will change.
Try it from GV. My hunch is that the filter is set up for outbound SMS that come from VoIP numbers. Reason: both TNO's blog post and jmp.chat reports of censorship stem from Mysudo and jmp.chat users, not regular carriers.
Just did, again no issue.
