That's crazy. There is absolutely no reason for this. I would understand if it were the word "Hamas" but this is just plain stupid.

- quickthrower2 3y agoHamas is also a regular arabic word. Might be a name too?
- simfree 3y agoIt might also be the constant barrage of Palestine based toll fraud most SIP providers witness. It's very common in telecom to blackhole consistently malicious ASNs that do not handle abuse reports. Only a handful of networks make up the vast majority of SIP attackers, seems totally reasonable they would block any keywords related to toll fraudsters that previously scammed Twilio clients.
