Another Dysfunction?
Dec. 12th, 2020 12:55 pm
Over the last couple of weeks I've had the interesting experience of finding out that a lot of the emails I send are suddenly ending up in people's spam folders. That happened with one of my publishers -- he had to fish two manuscripts out of spam, and we'd been exchanging a great many emails up to that point with no difficulty at all. It interests me that this is happening now, when several other signs of systemic dysfunction seem to be cropping up, and when there also appears to be a renewed effort to deplatform people who don't toe the corporate media party line. (Scott Adams of Dilbert fame has been facing some hassles with the big corrupt internet conglomerates, for example.) I find it hard to believe that a fringe thinker like me would come to the attention of anyone involved in the latter effort, but I suppose you never know.
I have workarounds in place, of course, but this has been a mild annoyance, so I figured that it was time to ask my remarkably well-informed commentariat. Is this something that's happening more generally, either to everyone, or to -- ahem -- specific categories of undesirables?
(And if you're expecting an email from me -- or even if you're not -- you might want to check your spam folder...)
Have any of you noticed sudden, unexplained, multiweek closures of bank branches in your vicinity? The reason I'm asking is that it's happened twice now here in East Providence: branches of more than one bank suddenly shuttered, with no explanation, no warning, just lights off, doors locked, and a photocopied announcement taped to the door.
