Apple Could be Filtering Outgoing MobileMe Mail

This is some potentially upsetting news. Some users of MobileMe have reported that emails with controversial political content were not reaching the people they were messaging. Their first thought was that it was spam detection, or a bug, but it was found to be consistent, and recipients never received the emails in question, even with spam filtering turned off.

The email in question is below:

"The authoritarian Governments in Syria, Greece, Saudi Arabia and Yemen continue to oppress and massacre their own citizens. Their manipulative and combative attempts at controlling the media and their citizens are unethical and illegal. They continue to oppress its own citizens through beatings, harassment, jailing and killings.
Stop the oppression of innocent Arab People!!!
Take a stand against Authoritarian Oppressive Regimes!
Equal Rights to all people!"

Ironic that an email about equal rights may have been censored.
Cult Of Mac decided to test this with the email above. They found that the email would not reach their recipients when sent through the MobileMe web interface, but worked fine when sent from Apple's Mail application. Normal emails worked fine through both the web app and Mail application.

Though these aren't conclusive results, it seems highly likely that Apple is censoring emails. There has been no comment from Apple yet. Hopefully this is a mistake.
