Hotmail & AOL Kept Truthout from Customers? 
PBS Mind reported the following at Buck Naked Politics:
"Hotmail unilaterally decided to call my [Truthout] subscription 'spam' and stop forwarding it."Mind you, it did not stop forwarding me 'get your viagra here' e-mails, phony stock-scam e-mails, 'easy Russian bride' e-mails, or a host of e-mails offering me advice on how to enlarge my penis."
Being female, PBS Mind doesn't have a penis, but you get the point. Unfortunately, she's not the only one reporting that email providers have blocked Truthout....
Truthout, itself, has received reports that AOL, Hotmail and other email providers have been blocking some communications to customers from Truthout. As you likely know, Truthout is a valuable resource: a website that conveniently aggregates news sources in one place, as well as doing solid investigative journalism of its own.
PBS Mind decided to combat Hotmail's censorship by:
1) Complaining to Hotmail,
2) Closing her Hotmail account, and
3) Donating to Truthout.
She encourages others to do likewise. Read PBS Mind's account here.
