Do not use the spam filter for censorship
I would like to report that Yahoo’s spam filter is so defective that I cannot believe that it is an accident. I have a family member that I contact regularly. His emails often but not always get put in the spam folder. I tried to disable the spam filter but I have found no setting that allows disabling the spam filter. Quite often I will send a message to him, and the spam filter will put his response in the spam folder. The absolute simplest thing would be to recognize that if I initiate an email, and get a reply back this could not possibly be spam. Often a conversation will go back and forth multiple times and the spam filter will put the final response in the spam folder. This is possibly worst mistake a spam filter could make. I have written many computer programs, and I recognize that this is unlikely to be a mistake and is most likely intentional censorship. I recognize that my family member is a controversial figure, and talks about controversial subjects. Some of the messages that were labeled as spam are unexplainable. For example, I asked him if he wanted some produce from my garden. His reply was:
yes, I do.
I could use a box about the same size as last year, maybe a bit smaller.
How could this response possibly be labeled as spam, especially when I initiated the conversation? This is not the only time this happened. I frequently find his messages in the spam folder. The spam filter clearly does not learn because it continues to happen again and again with his emails. I am constanly pulling his emails out of the spam folder. I asked him for a suggested protocol for helping people with covid vaccine reactions. His message was put in the spam folder and I therefore did not receive it in a timely manner. I understand that you are trying to censor covid information that goes against the corporate media spin, but you are going too far. Your excess censorship is hurting people.
Suggested solutions:
1. Yahoo should stop censoring.
2. Spam filter should recognize that people who I regularly send messages to should not be put in the spam folder.
3. Spam filter should recognize that If I initiate a conversation, any responses to my email are not spam.
4. It should be possible to turn off the spam filter.
5. The spam filter should only be used for filtering spam. It should not be used for political or medical censorship.
6. If I pull messages out of the spam folder, the spam filter should learn that these emails addressees should be generally recognized as not spam.
7. Yahoo should stop censoring information that might help people protect themselves from Covid in an alternative way.
