I cannot figure out what is happening here. Within the last couple days, my phone just stopped sending any .win links even though it shows as sent. No one had recieved any of them through multiple carriers/brands/apple etc. So I'm pretty convinced this is happening, just wanted to see if anyone else has come across this issue. Gone through all settings in the Android phone, switched to 3rd party message apps, checked the account side and cannot find anything that could be causing the issue. All other links from a variety of other sites send/recieve just fine. With or without VPN. Super suspicious. Any thoughts or others that have come across this?

I thought that they have been doing for a long time now. Definitely remember them doing it after Jan 6th
I know they don't have a good track record, just super strange all of a sudden. Gonna be shopping around after this. Just trying to confirm if anyone else was experiencing anything similar.
Stuff like this got me in the habit of sending links alone in their own message. So something like:
Message 1: Wow did you see this {insert red pill}? Here is a link:
Message 2: {the link}
Then if I get a response of "Well where is the link?" I know it was blocked. I also have tmobile and have found a couple times of them doing this, pretty sure they did it on the Hunter laptop stories when they first broke, but I might be wrong on that. Too bad there are not more alternatives, I'm pretty much stuck with tmobile because of coverage, but it's not like the others are all that much better.
That's actually a great idea, just sucks that it has come to that. One should assume your messages are recieved unobstructed.
The weirdest workaround I have found is to remove the HTTP:// or HTTPS:// header from the link itself. Then it allows for it to be received. Thanks communist overlords!
I have t-mobile and have sent .win links. I haven't gotten any responses to the articles or video links I've sent. Thanks for the heads up. Next time, I'll ask them to confirm receipt.
For what it's worth, T-Mobile owns my carrier (Mint) and I'm still able to send GAW.win links.
ALL cell phone companies can and do read ALL of your text messages. They can also listen in on your phone calls.

Tried t-mobile in my town, very poor reception, would not work in my house, down the road or in Walmart. Going a bit further, got a connection, but it was evidently a tower that they were subscribing to, but, they had a lower priority than the primary owners of the tower resulting in dropped calls. Went back to Verizon within a week, and the great thing was Verizon treated me as a new customer even though I was gone less than a week and I got new customer deals. My sons do live elsewhere and are happy with t-mobile in their areas.
I have friends on Instagram, and when I try to send a DM on there with a link to a post on here it’s always blocked. I’ve never had anything else blocked on Instagram DM except for links to here.
