Censorship of emails
Friends,
A few minutes ago, I sent out two
bulletins to my mailing list, which
includes YOU and also a Gmail account of
MINE.
One email arrived in my Gmail INBOX; the other in my Gmail SPAM
Folder.
The same happened two days ago. I sent three bulletins, one of
which
never showed up in my Gmail INBOX; I found it in the SPAM Folder
instead.
Gmail inserted this comment:
"Why is this message in Spam?
It's similar to messages that were
detected by our spam filters. Learn
more"
The "Learn More" link links to
http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1366858&rd=1
where
one finds this criterion:
"Similarity to other spam or phishing messages
based on a combination of
things like subject matter, elements like spelling
and formatting, and
suspicious attachments"
What does "subject
matter" have to do with Spam?
The subject matter of the two emails filed
as Spam mentioned a certain
group. It was not disparaging, but pointed out
that one faction of them
was dominating another faction.
One can talk
about any other group.
This is Censorship, pure and simple.
There
are about 400 people on my mailing list, so I am classed as a
"bulk sender";
quite possibly the censorship does not apply to messages
sent to just one or
a few people.
I have uploaded the offending bulletins to my website; you
can download
them as .doc files. Please let me know of any
problems.
You will find them and future such bulletins at the following
link. You
had better bookmark the page, because I will not link to it from
the
rest of my website:
