#Yahoo blocking "Occupy Wall Street" messages

admits-to-blocking-wall-street-protest-emails


ThinkProgress tried other protest websites, like
AmericansforProsperity.org and TeaPartyPatriots.org, and both messages
were sent smoothly. However, emails relating to the OccupyWallSt.org
protest were blocked with the following message (emphasis added):

Your message was not sent
Suspicious activity has been detected on your account. To protect
your account and our users, your message has not been sent.
If this error continues, please contact Yahoo! Customer Care for
further help.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

ThinkProgress has sent a request for more information to Yahoo, and will
post any reply once we have received it with Yahoo’s explanation for its
apparent censorship.

It’s not the first time Yahoo has been accused of political censorship.
Yahoo officially partners with the repressive Chinese regime to provide
the government with access to emails related to groups viewed as
dissidents. An explosive investigation by Der Spiegel found that Yahoo
provided Chinese authorities with access to emails from journalists, and
the snooping resulted in the same journalists being sent to prison camps.

The Occupy Wall Street protests have continued, but if you own a Yahoo e-
mail account, you might not know about it.

Update

We’re continuing to monitor Yahoo’s mail service and have now been able
to send messages containing the phrase “Occupy Wall Street” and its
website on some Yahoo accounts. On other accounts, however, Yahoo is
still blocking the messages.
Update

Yahoo’s customer care Twitter account acknowledges blocking the emails,
but says it was an unintentional error:

“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’s main Twitter account adds:

“Thanks to @YahooMail users & @ThinkProgress for catching problem w/
#Occupywallst.org mail. Prob is fixed, but there may be residual delays.”

Two people I know who have been tweeting and blogging about occupy
wall street are now being asked by google (running on Firefox) to
prove they're not robots each time they open a new tab. This doesn't
seem normal....

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Do you boobs seriously think you're important enough for Yahoo to
bother censoring you? No human decided to do this. Some script
somewhere decided your email was malware or malware was traced to
your site.

You left wing brats are oppressed political martyrs?? You're just like the
man carrying groceries who blocked the tank column in Tiananmen
Square in 1989, aren't you? LOL

Told you it was a script.

And since they're not an agent of government any claim of 'censorship'
is ridiculous and ignorant.

Next?

Any evidence that anything of the sort was going on.

I -love- how you belly crawlers will support any type of tyranny,
provided it's privatized.

WTF? Privatized tyranny??!? Yahoo owes you *nothing*. If you don't
like how they do business, file antitrust charges against them or use
your own crappy websites like moveon.org.

This is the same way you spoiled brats behave with radio. Nobody
wants to listen to Air America so you feel entitled to force yourselves
on channels who have real audiences.

Oh, wait....

Oh, look, the little class warrior is here to crawl on his belly and bark
at us for his rich masters...

And then spout silly nonsense to try and get his masters off the hook for
wrecking the economy.

Remember when you used to be an American, bubbles?

If that were true, they would obey the Free Market, and provide the
service their customers need.

...Instead of taking bribes to censor speech someone rich doesn't
like...

Porky Jamieson is real upset about being permanently denied US
citizenship..

An alien who requests and is exempt under an agreement or
bilateral treaty can never become a U.S. citizen, and may
have trouble reentering the U.S. if he leaves.
