Is Yahoo Mail censoring emails about Occupy Wall Street?
-
I read on Facebook that "ThinkProgress has reviewed claims that Yahoo is censoring e-mails relating to the protest and found that after several attempts on multiple accounts, we too were prevented from sending messages about the “Occupy Wall Street” demonstrations." They linked to an article that explained what was occurring and has a Youtube video showing the attempts http://thinkprogress.org/media/2011/09/20/323856/yahoo-censoring-occupy-wall-street-protests/ I just tried it. I thought maybe it was just blocking the messages going through from new accounts, maybe because of an incident we haven't heard about yet, but I've had a Yahoo account for 7 years or more and it wouldn't let me send either. All my email contained was a brief note to my friend explaining what the link was about, and the link to https://occupywallst.org/. Do you think maybe a lot of people reported it as spam so their system flagged anything with that link automatically? Or do you think this is intentional censorship from Yahoo?

Answer:
YahooCare Yahoo! Customer Care We apologize 4 blocking 'occupywallst.org' It was not intentional & caught by our spam filters. It is resolved, but may be a residual delay

Yahoo is run by the corporations and the oligarchs just like everything in this country. I believe this is the start of Western Spring. Its time for a revolution.
