A GROUP opposed to AOL's certified email plans has alleged that the ISP has been caught censoring emails from outfits it doesn't like.

MoveOn.org, a petition group against AOL's certified email plans, sent out its normal optin newsletter to its members, on Thursday, only to find that it had been blocked by AOL.

Not only was the email blocked, but MoveOn didn't get a note saying that it had been.

In a press release, a spokesman for MoveOn.org claimed that AOL has been caught red-handed censoring email.

AOL claimed that it thought MoveOn.org were spammers, but moved to unblock it.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
