Yahoo Accused of Censoring Occupy Wall Street Emails P 2

The effectiveness of the Occupy Wall Street protests is being blunted by the internet corporation Yahoo, according to activists.

According to a pair of videos posted on YouTube, the company intentionally blocked emails that included "occupywallst.org," the main website of the effort to shut down New York's financial district organized by a shadowy group of hackers known as Anonymous.

"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," a message states after emails are sent via Yahoo.

The videos show users successfully sending emails with different addresses.

Yahoo claims the error messages were "unintentional" and caused by spam filters.

Yahoo is notorious for helping the authoritarian government of China build its censorship firewall, known as the Great Firewall of China.

China's government aggressively seeks out and imprisons activist bloggers. In 2001, activists were arrested and sentenced to ten year prison terms for using Yahoo accounts to send email. Activists subsequently sued Yahoo for its effort to block emails targeted by the Chinese government.

Yahoo, YouTube, Google, MySpace, and ISPs have been accused of blocking and censoring activist email, websites, and videos for years.

Infowars.com posted a page of links to articles documenting the effort by corporations and the establishment to prevent activists from using the internet.

On Tuesday, Anonymous accused the New York Police of attempting to shut down its media operation during a violent raid.

"2 members of #OccupyWallStreet media team & another person arrested for trying to use a tarp to protect communications equipment from rain," an AnonOps tweet reads. The group claims police confiscated some of the media team's equipment.

If your at this site and reading this you likely like me are experiencing "something different" going on with your access to sites or your searches. Not to be paranoid, conspiratorial or going off the deep end it just seems like, feels like I am being blocked, filtered, "handled" censored or blacklisted? I say this as someone who for years has navigated and expressed God and country opinions so you know where I am coming from too. It really does feel like my rights are being violated.

facebook blocks TPB from being posted

in china they call it 50 cent party members, in the west theres no name for it but its the same thing

its people paid by various institutions to create statistics on popular sites that vote down sites they dont like enough that they are marked as spam by the sites internal system, yahoo is likely unaware of it, but you charces of having it removed are about 50/50 depending if whoever did it has the internet resources to make it happen again

Things are culminating and heading to the point where we can now we can get things out in the open and finally expose all the rotteness that lies at the core of our society.And then destroy it.Things are polarising and the time has come to make choices and choose sides.
