Conservative Emails flagged as Spam?

Posted on 06/23/2015 7:13:38 PM PDT by NYAmerican

Lately I notice, more and more frequently, conservative themed emails I receive are being classified as "Spam" by my email providers (primarily Yahoo, but also Gmail). Of course these emails contain NONE of the classic "Spam" keywords.....just keywords likely considered offensive by today's Leftist Internet "Moguls"...such as "Scott Walker", "Tea Party", etc. (and of course, I click "Not Spam"). Doesn't seem to happen at all for any other non Spam emails....just Conservative themed emails. Anyone else notice the same thing?

Yup. About half my Cruz emails end up in “spam”. Live.com.

I get maybe 30-35 emails a day from conservative groups, etc and have never had any trouble. Has anything changed on your end? In fact, I get 3-4 for the same thing just about every day from different groups, etc, all conservative. It is aggravating to open the very same thing several times a day. Guess they want to make sure I read them. Have you changed your settings? I use the addy I have used since 1998. Have you been hacked?

Yes. My emails from SOS (Special Operations Speaks) always gores to spam. I even entered them in my contact list and they still go to spam. This is an obvious attempt by Google to filter emails that the communists do not agree with.

Free email is worth every penny you pay for it.

You can write filters for Gmail and include “never send to Spam”.

Or you could pay for a domain and whatever else you need to run your own email server.

Had a sense of this at least 6 months ago, dismissed it.

I’ve noticed those repetitive emails, too. They’re from different senders, but say the exact things...like....Have you seen this map?? Same map, same charts and info.

A lot of mass mailings are labeled as spam, not just conservative ones. It is the mass mailing part that they filter, so just check them as not spam, and no problem.

a lot of my medical updates are periodically removed, for example.

Some of my Cruz emails show as spam and others show normally. I check my spam folder every time I open my email so i can see if it has anything I want along with being able to empty it of any trash. I usually move the Cruz emails to my Inbox at that time.

Thanks to all who replied. For me, virtually 100% of other emails marked as Spam really are Spam. That’s why I’m suspicious. I’m nearly certain it’s not a coincidence. I’m sure there are ways around the problem, but my real point here is that, if this is indeed targeted censorship, it’s just another example of the brainwashed leftists running our “corporations” today. They relieve the Feds of even having to “dirty their hands”.

Yep, I noticed this also. How pathetic that Google (GMAIL) clearly chooses to effectively censor speech it does not like (conservative-themed speech). Funny how the Googles and FB’s of the world aggressively support liberal causes and politicians when these same liberals (socialists, let’s be honest) wish to control their content and tax them into oblivion. Gutless.
