It's the free part. Twilio will also flag patterns like this. We built a contactless workflow that was being censored, and it was due to a similar substring appearing in the link. It was a pain in the ass to figure out

From the Reddit thread and my own testing, links like “ https://free-test.com/” go through fine from a T-Mobile phone. These URLs T-Mobile blocks appear to be individually treated differently, for whatever reason.

Other sites like ddosecrets.com and itsgoingdown.org are also affected. Neither have the string "free" in them
