Spam Filtering is not censorship because it is acting on my behalf on the emails that I receive. As a private person, I have the right to apply any filters on conversations I am a direct part of.
What I don't have the right is to apply my filters/opinions on others without their consent. Doing this would be censorship.
- Rapzid 6y agoYou may not realize that there is filtering occurring at the infrastructure level that you have no control over. Unless you run your own mail server and somebody sends mail directly to it, bypassing any other parties relays, you are most certainly not in control of all the "filtering" that occurs. Further, a lot of the major infra providers will shut your sh down if they think you are being a bad citizen(complaints, bounces, etc). Sure, you can find _some_ provider that won't; but DJT can find _some_ blog platform that will post his all his BS without fact checking it as well.
