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

[Marc P. <ma...@pe...>]

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,
