Continued here.Ryan Tate — Apple has been silently deleting outgoing mail that contains unacceptable words and phrases. What sorts of words and phrases? Good question! Apple won't say. It definitely doesn't like political yammering. Shut up, hippies.
WTF Apple?

Re: WTF Apple?
I don't get it. Is this some sort of company email or something, or is it an email service?
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

The way I read it, the emails that were blocked were private emails, not corporate.

If you are sending emails from your corporate account, I think the company in question has the right to monitor those and I think many companies do. However, private mails from your own account are an entirely different matter.

Re: WTF Apple?
I don't know much about Apple, but I looked up this me.com thing. Apparently it's a subscription based email, photo, address book and other online services for Mac, iPad and iPhone users. Like a combination of hotmail, imageshack, etc. but you have to pay for it. Looks like their spam filters are blocking emails and it's got people up in arms, but why the quoted email would trigger a spam filer is beyond me.
