Even though in this case MoveOn does turn out to be at fault for not
confirming subscriptions, it still brings up the potential problem you
mention - and, if the saboteurs in question were otherwise doing proper
reporting, a web-of-trust model wouldn't spot them; about all that would do
it would be that the newsletters et al in question might show up as
conflicted if enough _other_ people were revoking them.
There's been some discussion over on the SA list of a whitelisting server
for newsletters and similar that have been confirmed as requiring
confirmations, etcetera, although in that case it was more for DCC (which is
designed as a bulk-sensor). Possibly something of the sort is required here?
Note that I specifically save in my SA corpus email on
political/sexual/religious/etcetera topics, BTW, so there's one input
discouraging bad rules in SA that might hit such email.
