I recieved this e-mail today, with subject title "MESSAGE CENSORED BY YAHOO": This email has been scanned and found to have had to following primary keywords: Conspiracy Bomb Fake Demolition Experts This email has been scanned and found to have had to following secondary keywords: Bin Laden World Trade Center Oklahoma City Anthrax Iraq Oil Ricin Cruise Missile Due to recent legislation passed in Congress regarding internet usage, this message has been censored. Yahoo has been advised to inform you that persistent abuse of US internet services can result in a fine and/or a jail sentence. -Somehow i'd never envisioned talking about oil an abuse of us internet services ond thus an imprisonable offence?!?!?! AAAGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10I just sent my Yahoo! account the above text a few hundred times - I got no such censorship message.
I also sent the text from Yahoo! a few times, no problems.
Googling for the text of the message returns no hits. If Yahoo! have started censorship in this manner, they're not very good at it, nobody else has noticed it and it'd curtail huge amounts of everyday
conversation ("Oklahoma is the bomb!", "I think that Bush is right with what he's doing in Iraq, we should go after them 'cos of Sept. 11th..." etc.)
Have you contacted Yahoo! to see if this email wasn't faked?
Yahoo! have censored material relating to China to Chinese users before, but censorship in this manner would be stepping it up to an unprecedented level.
Did you ever stop and think that a secret government conspiracy to take over the Iraqi oilfields could be targetting just you and watching your every move. Perhaps your very computer is watching you right now even as you go about your everyday life of conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory. Maybe They are all out to get You. Remember it could only be you that they are after because you are the threat. You know too much and Yahoo knows this.
Indymedia is censoring messages posted her and delete's that message's it does not like
The indymedia editors delete posts that break the guidelines. Generally crossposts or comments posted as articles.
You's dont belive in living my the rules of this country but u expect people to follow your rules. Will i think i should start doing what you's were trying to do in May. but to this website because i don t like ur rules.
Dude, in the future, do a search on google when you recieve such an email. You will quickly discover that it's a hoax.
Spell properly in future please. There is little point in you communicating the way you talk "you's." It is just starting to irritate me. Anyway your an idiot who would support the farmers protest because the gardai didn't beat em up??? Oh yeah but the guys on Mayday were so obviously in the wrong. Wake up idiot!!!
You are so childish trying to pick up on little spelling mistakes. But a bit of advise if you are going to be childish and look for mistake’s like that look at what you write first “beat em up” I get irritated by you’s to. I think I will start really irritating you’s by posting messages on this site that will have to be deleted which will mean that indymedia staff will have to monitor this site 24 hrs a day. May be messages like “Indy media is closing down”. Ha ha . I know you’s will all post messages saying that no body will belive me . But if the message is on the site for 5 mins and one person sees it and believes it. You’s try create confusion. I will give u a lesson in confusion.
