AOL Censorship

In a previous post “Censored Email?” I expressed my concern that AOL’s plan to charge bulk mailers to send email to AOL email addresses. My concern at the time “I see an opportunity for AOL, or one of its employees, to censor based on their personal beliefs.” was well founded. In April AOL did just that. They blocked all email to AOL customers that included a link to http://www.dearaol.com/. Dear AOL, is opposed to the AOL “email tax”. The EFF website has the details.
