Apple May Be Invisibly Filtering Your Outgoing MobileMe Email

[gevorg]

Welcome to iCloud!

Anyone with MobileMe care to confirm? I wonder if this is location specific.

In a thread on MacInTouch, MobileMe user Ken Rosenblum first reported the problem when attempting to send the following email to a mailing list.

The authoritarian Governments in Syria, Greece, Saudi Arabia and Yemen continue to oppress and massacre their own citizens. Their manipulative and combative attempts at controlling the media and their citizens are unethical and illegal. They continue to oppress its own citizens through beatings, harassment, jailing and killings.
Stop the oppression of innocent Arab People!!!
Take a stand against Authoritarian Oppressive Regimes!
Equal Rights to all people!

According to Ken, every time he tried to send that email, it wouldn’t be received by its intended recipient. Other emails would go through fine.

This is an automated antispam guard... what's the big deal? It looks like bullshit spam.

Why won't it flag it as "spam"? Why won't it tell the user why email is not being sent? Magic?

Look into the "Telecommunications Act" of the mid nineties. This Basically turns your phone into a remote surveillance device. Similar legislation developed for the same handful of phone manufacturers is in place in many countries.
