Threat to Stop NATO List

http://www.wfol.tv/news/5363-yahoo-threa...-nato.html World Future Online September 27, 2010 Yahoo threatens email forwarding to protect Nato Written by Kazi Mahmood It appears that Yahoo, the popular email service provider, is combatting anti-Nato movements by threatening to close email accounts of anyone who is found responsible for simply forwarding an email to a group or any individual. In a personal letter to Wfol.tv, Rick Rozoff of the Stop Nato group based in the US explained that his Yahoo group called Stop Nato, which is a collection of articles worldwide on the activities of the Western military organization Nato, said he is being victimized. Rozoff expressed fears that the very future of two individuals exchanging news in emails could be prevented by Yahoo. This could happen if any news group or organization presses Yahoo to take action against specific movements. Rozoff said: "My appreciation for your posting the material on the joint Military Times/Yahoo threats to Stop NATO. If they get away with something like this they can create a precedent for preventing any two individuals from emailing any news item anywhere in the world." Indeed this would be a very dangerous precedent as it would stop the dissemination of information among friends and between groups and other organzations. "If I copy and paste an article on any topic - say, gardening - and you forward it to another person and down the line somewhere it is sent to an email group - Yahoo tells me they can cancel my ID, which is to say my email address, the one I use to set up and moderate groups. They then de facto shut down all groups I moderate." Rozoff added. "By the way, neither Military Times nor Yahoo wrote to me at the email address I used to set up and use to moderate Stop NATO; they wrote to me at another, one I usually use to post items." he said. Wfol.tv posted an article outsourced from Rozoff's Yahoo group, Stop Nato, which is a series of email exchanges between the 'Military Times' group, Yahoo and Rick Rozoff.
