If i send direct image https links to my friends with iphones from media.thedonald.win they just never show up for them, if i reupload the image to imgur, they come through perfectly fine.

Is anyone else noticing this? I have verified it now with 3 people, no problems for those using android, only iPhone users.

Edit: This seems to be google as the perp here, Google Fi Specifically (my provider)

Others are having the same problems

Edit: I have contacted the FCC, The FEC, and the Justice Department.

Yep. And you can't send links to .win across updated android messaging. it just doesn't show up.
the big players won't let anyone new in. why they all need busted up hard.

Holy shit, i have just verified this now across 3 different iphone users, and one android user.

Android no problems, iphone, links straight up don't show up

Are you on the same phone plan?

If so will you try sending it to someone with an iPhone on a different phone plan and let us know?

that's what they get for being applefags and thinking that they need a special text messaging app that is synced across every decide they've ever logged in to

let them miss out of half the world so they can feel like part of the cool kids lunch table
