    Good. I don't want to receive unsolicited candidate/election emails from anyone.

    I hope they continue to block all election related email that isn't from my local election commission.

    Obviously, you didn't read it.
    Only election emails from one side of the fence were blocked.

    Doesn't matter. Block some, block all unsolicited emails! Texts too!

    To clarify, emails that were specifically signed up for, were blocked.

    I'm so over the spam, I don't care. Kill it all.

    Or better yet, spent the $5Bil hunting down and jailing for life the owners/officers/agents/shareholders and seizing the companies that send spam

    You are so FOS sometimes which is annoying cuz you're smarter than that.

    I'd make a bet that if there was a special report on 20/20 showing/proving that the vast majority of Liberal agenda emails were absolutely being blocked while the GOP has raised millions in donations in the same period, you'd be outraged.

    I don't know if a Federal law exists already or not but it looks like Republicans in Congress need to get their shit together and pass one. A carefully worded law that makes it clear that any deceptive practices being pushed by any company to hide, slow or delete political message by ANY party shall be penalized.

    Cuz if they don't, this country will be defeated by them and their cohorts.


    NO! Let's just kill 95% of the Liberal agenda emails.........how's that fly for you??? :rolleyes:

    If they are unsolicited - meaning I didn't sign up for them - then YES! Kill them all! Political, non-political, issue, Right, Left. Get rid of all the Spam!

    There is a federal law. Remember the Can SPAM act? It's purposely toothless.

    Except these weren't. They were solicited, but were selectively sorted to spam BY THE EMAIL PROVIDERS.

    Solicited by the receiver of the email, as in they asked to receive them? If so, that is different, and the emails should have been delivered.

    BTW: It's pretty easy to write/distribute emails that get flagged as spam. Word patterns, number of recipients, keywords, use of caps, colors, pics, etc. are often set in the filters.
    I used to do monthly newsletters to a 400 member organization, and those were routinely flagged, because the same message was going to more than 10 people at the domain (ISP) AOL used to be the worst, cause you could pay them $10K per year and be "whitelisted" from their spam filter. The industry keeps a database of spam senders (SORBS) and it is used to block senders as well.
