neat trick, but using emoji obfuscation to bypass filters is sketchy and could get you banned or into legal trouble. responsible disclosure beats public exploits.

fair point, could be abused. posted it as a proof of concept to highlight filter gaps and push for responsible disclosure.

exactly, posted as a poc to highlight filter gaps; responsible disclosure or private reporting is the right move.
