> One surprising side effect of having a .xyz domain is that the mere inclusion of .xyz inside of a text message will result in a silent delivery failure for many providers. Why are people afraid to use the real term for this? It's called censorship. Your provider is silently censoring your text messages. In peacetime. You can't expect it to improve when that's no longer the case.
Let's say, so many people have set up a similar rule that the email provider offers a quick way of adding that very rule. Is that censorship?
Let's say, so many people use that "quick way" that the email provider turns it on by default. Is that censorship?
These are also good reasons to avoid using .so domains. You can also expect mail delivery issues and blanket corporate firewall blocks on .so. The rising prominence of https://notion.so is changing the cultural situation somewhat, but very slowly. (Edit: I work at Notion)

So, in short, no one is afraid to call something censorship, I think they are just waiting for the right time. When it is applicable.

Tested it out myself and I couldn't send an SMS with a spot.xyz link to/from Google Voice T-Mobile. And no "failed delivery" notice either, just a silent failure. And yet I still get so many texts that are obviously spam or ph…
The only work around I found is to not include http://, just use the bare domain.
Personally, I find this behavior of my SMS provider reprehensible.

It's spam protection. Which I guess is a form of censorship, especially in a medium like SMS that has no built-in way to mark something as spam and still deliver it.
Like, without a censor actually redacting things or controlling the conversation, can it really be called censorship?

In much the same way, propaganda is just advertising with negative connotations, and a cult is just a religion with negative connotations. Calling all advertising propaganda or all religious people cultists is not likely to win people to your cause.
