Phone carriers blocking Catbox links

submitted by namefagsrgay to TellUpgoat 11 monthsMay 24, 2023 14:18:48 ago (+36/-0)     (TellUpgoat)

I've been meaning to post this for a few months now, I've just been depressed and nothing seems to matter anymore.

But I suppose you should know and try testing your phone network.

I'm on Telus and any time I've tried sharing a link to catbox the text will not be received. Doesn't matter if it has text, an image attached, any reference to catbox makes the text not send. There is no notification or error, it appears to have sent. I've tried sending it to multiple people on different carriers, so it's likely Telus blocking the links.

Give it a shot. I noticed a few different services, like instagram, will refuse to share certain links and delete them from your chat history, but the legality of blocking texts seems a little different. I wonder if this is even legal...

Don't worry they'll get rid of Castro soon and it'll all go back to the way it was.

It's legal because Trump helped kill net neutrality

"Through 2017, the FCC has generally been favorable towards net neutrality, treating ISPs under Title II common carrier. With the onset of the Presidency of Donald Trump in 2017, and the appointment of Ajit Pai, an opponent of net neutrality, to the chairman of the FCC, the FCC has reversed many previous net neutrality rulings and reclassified Internet services as Title I information services."

Most of you dumbasses will still vote for him again.

I'd call the fuckers and ask them what's going on and why they are censoring your communications in a supposed free country.

Cheer up, friend. Nature always corrects itself and our current troubles are no ex exception.


Find people to be with. Grow your family. These are the true ways to both fight back and live well.

Of course, you should work to make yourself strong, smart, and capable of defending your family and people as well.

Do not let your enemy put you on the back foot and dictate how you live your life. Be strong.

You are not alone!

Use a VPN; that typically gets around that issue.

[ - ] ParnellsUprising 0 points 10 monthsMay 24, 2023 21:12:07 ago (+0/-0)

If you are texting, this based upon the carrier, not just browsing the web where with a VPN can just proxy to whatever country you would like to be in.

I suspect it got caught in some kind of spam filter. Oh well, they're not preventing you from getting at anything. Just send a shortened URL.

Go on a hiking adventure, share your location with somebody using a Catbox image text message with a return time, become "lost" for a couple of days until found, Sue the carrier

I'm not being blocked from catbox on my end.

I can never get it working right on 4chan, all the red boards are blocked and the blues don't open images past the thumbnails.

Thanks for rallying up to share this with us buddy.
I've noticed the same thing. My family uses Verizon, I have android, Wife has iPhone. She can't get catbox links I send her. Even if I download the video and send it, her phone won't be able to view it

I have a vpn but Iv always wondered how much that actually helps anonymity. Where does it come into play? Idk.

[ - ] localsal 0 points 10 monthsMay 24, 2023 23:37:03 ago (+0/-0)

Anonymity? Very little. The vpn provider can see everything, but in most cases shouldn't have a reason to care.

A vpn will help prevent your ISP from knowing what you are doing, as all requests are somewhat hidden inside the vpn traffic.

All the (((people))) pushing for digital id to surf the web already know everyone is tracked constantly, they just want to make it legal and easier to get everyone.

We exist therefor we matter. The universe didn’t shit out life for no reason. As for the depression if you’re not going to the gym go, it’s the best anti depressant that exists. Go and whip your own ass. Have a good time, there’s lots of cool shit to do. The world is your playground.

Don’t search img host on duckduck
But if you do you’ll understand why it’s blocked
