Yahoo Accused of Censoring Occupy Wall Street Emails

The effectiveness of the Occupy Wall Street protests is being blunted by the internet corporation Yahoo, according to activists.

According to a pair of videos posted on YouTube, the company intentionally blocked emails that included “occupywallst.org,” the main website of the effort to shut down New York’s financial district organized by a shadowy group of hackers known as Anonymous.
