Biggest Turnoff: Gmail Spam Filter
By Duane Thresher, Ph.D. June 27, 2019
I mentioned Google Mail's (Gmail's) spam filter in
Whitelists, Blacklists, and the Great Spam Filter Scam,
particularly how it reads your emails and censors them based
on content and probably sender too. As discussed in Google:
Invasion of the Email Snatchers, most have surrendered their
email to Big Brother Google and think they have to do email
however Google says, including using its spam filter. You
can actually turn off the Gmail spam filter, although Google
tries to hide and discourage this, and until you get Apscitu
Mail, this turnoff is the biggest thing you can do to
protect yourself.
When you get a Gmail account, the spam filter is on by
default, with no option given to turn it off. Whenever
Google deems an email you receive to be spam, including
because its content is politically incorrect or because it
was sent from a rival email service provider, it gets sent
to the Gmail spam folder.
