Microsoft Blocking Conservative Emails?
FreeRepublic ^ | 9/18/18 | Mr. K the KnowItAll

Posted on 09/18/2018 7:33:40 AM PDT by Mr. K

I have noticed that no matter how many times I mark emails from sites such as Project Veritas, James O'Keefe, and other conservative sites as NOT JUNK, Microsoft Outlook always sticks them into the junk folder.

MS Hotmail either censors or trashes emails deemed inappropriate to them - I’ll get a notification of an email and the inbox/junk mail folder is empty.

Yahoo mail has been doing this for decades.
Too bad the GOP-e has never figured this out.

Nope... been using it for 20 years, same with Gmail. Never have anything get censored unless I mark it as Junk.

“A friend” took over for a person in “his” organization who was convinced that Microsoft was blocking us because “they”
supported policies that were contrary to Microsoft was seeking. (Not conservative, per se). This “friend” was able to get excellent Microsoft compliance by obeying the expensive and troublesome rules that apply to all mass e-mail programs. My guess is that these conservative organizations don’t play by these rules.

You should test the system.

Open an email account. Use mail.com. It's free.

Send articles and email you believe would be blocked and see what happens.

Report back on results.

Oh, they got it figured out all right....probably even originally suggested it.
GOPe = RAT = UniParty = Deep State = Communist
Yeah, they may all be wearing different hats, but they are ALL the same and for the same cause.

Could be Microsoft policy or could be the work of a SJW on staff who sets criteria for flagging emails as Spam.

Impossible to know for sure.

One day, Microsoft will simply turn your name over to the Deep State so you can be picked up and put into an education camp for being an enemy of the state.

That is exactly what these Tech companies have been designed for.

Tech firms, creation of Goldman Sachs, DNC, money sources for both.... capital for donations, defunding business opponents... destroying capitalism...

Other than having to use Outlook at work, I’ve always used Pegasus and then Thunderbird.

I have no doubt...and it will probably come really fast in the near future should the libs ever get back into full power & control. Liberal insanity runs deep and absolutely knows no bounds. However, there will be no “education camps”. Instead, conservatives will just “disappear” from society in the middle of the night....never to seen or heard from ever again. The killing fields will be wide and deep. The only thing stopping them is that we’re armed to the fricken teeth. They’re basically cowards that have no guts for a that kind of fight. They have to disarm us first to make it easy for them and their evil ilk.

We may be armed to the teeth, but they’ll pick us off a little at a time, come up with nice cover stories...

Plus, they have the media, so there will be no reporting on it. Just one day, hey, where did so and so go off to? His house looks empty? And Bob at work, one day he just didn’t show up...?

Here we are in the USA with companies that are actively involved in assisting totalitarian states around the world to effectively do just this! Sickens me...

Between print media, social media, TV media, and internet media all being controlled mostly by the left, it won’t be long before there is hardly anywhere conservatives can freely communicate...

Yep. I don’t use ANY Microsoft products if I can help it.
I use Thunderbird for email. It’s an old, old mail server, but it’s got a pretty strong following and does quite well. It takes charitable donations to keep it afloat, but it’s updated quite frequently, meets my needs and I like it.

They’ve been quietly planning/working on it for years and managed to gain control over it, but it’s got to change if we’re to survive. We’ve got to make sure our voices are heard. How? I don’t have the answers but somehow it’s got to change.
