I think they&#x27;re filtering messages through their server now. Half an hour ago it worked, now it says &quot;message removed&quot;. Implying they MITM our messages and can censor them.

Parsing URLs is hard. Writing tests to find potential segfaults is easier.

Does this affect the Linux client?
