Yahoo apologized today (September 20) for accidentally blocking emails containing links to OccupyWallSt.org.
A few websites were reporting that emails they attempted to send were met with a message from the Internet corporation reading, “Your message was not sent. Suspicious activity has been detected on your account.”
Watch a video showing the error message generated by Yahoo when a user attempts to send an email containing a link to OccupyWallSt.org.
The blockage came about due to overactive spam filters, according to Yahoo. Users may experience some "residual delays", however.
You know, that explanation never worked for me in school, but it's nice to see a mega-corp responding to genuine censorship concerns in a timely fashion.
Of course, the real question is: who the hell is using Yahoo mail?

A real journalist is hard to find these days!!
Naturally, there is little media coverage by the ruling global corporate/financial/militarist Empire which now controls our former country by hiding behind the facade of its 'bought and owned' TWO-Party modernized "Vichy" sham of faux-democratic government --- just as the Nazi Empire when it was trying to control Europe and the world installed its crude, first-generation, single-party "Vichy" facade of government in Vichy France c. 1940.
What is starting to happen today in this uncoordinated 'Occupy Wall Street' protest in the US, which is the nominal and temporary headquarters of this entirely new scale of post-nation-state global Empire, is the beginning of what could quickly become a Second American (and world) Revolution "Against Empire" [Michael Parenti] --- and that naturally scares the hidden, well disguised, and generally undiagnosed global corporate/financial/militarist EMPIRE to death --- and thus they (the global Empire) will use all power in their hands; political, media, money, and ultimately military, to crush this nascent, if improperly named revolution "Against Empire"
