<br>
<br>
My personal e-mail is with Comcast, and I have experienced periodic blocking of all e-mails from one or more lists I subscribe to. When I called their security number and complained, the tech person I spoke with told me that they are automatically blocking
e-mails where (some undisclosed entity or AI) has determined that the e-mail contains "controversial," "misleading" or "disinformation" etc. They say it is independent of any SPAM filtering and is "to protect Comcast's reputation" which is a laugh given
that most people I know place their opinion lower than whale excrement in the Marianas trench and Comcast is merely the conduit for what is being sent.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
