Re: [Razor-users] Turning Razor into a censorship tool

[Marc Perkel]

My point is - being flagged as spam by razor is like being convicted of a crime without and accuser or without evidence. I don't think that Razor can determine if they had to - how it is that EFF was censored. I am also pointing out that I suspect that Razor doesn't have the ability to even know how it is being used/abused and does not give a damn about if they are being used as a tool to block free speech.

I use Razor myself as part of spam assassin and it does a good job generally when it comes to real spam. But when it comes to free speech newsletters it does a very poor job. From what I see it looks like Razor is a threat to free speech in it's current form.

Razor appears from a technical perspective to be very flawed and very exploitable - and is actually being exploited by people who don't want free speech to occur,

Marc, you seem to think that Razor owes you an explanation of why your newsletter was identified as Spam.  I'm not sure that they owe you any explanation at all.  Furthermore, I don't even know if it is possible with the system.  Maybe it is irresponsible (a matter to debate) but surely not illegal to withhold this information, assuming they have it.  Although who knows with the DMCA...  Somehow I'm not too concerned about the EFF invoking that law though... ;-)
