> Yay! SMS censorship has arrived in India. Sooner or later this will contain a long list of banned words. As the technical capability is already built and deployed, it is trivial to add "route to Police" from "block". -- https://twitter.com/iam_anandv/status/1501938799844425728

... apologies for editorializing the headline, I think it better captures to gist of the problem than "Exclusive: The curious case of words like “discord” and “tiktok” being blocked on Airtel SMS"
