Re: Whitelist? Why would that be?
Since the country blacklisting was covert, people wouldn't have known to do whitelist. And from the links others have posted, it seems that currently you have to phone with a list of IP ranges to whitelist. And that is, once you have stumbled across the fact your email was filtered on nation of origin.
So reasonably I think damages would be Verizon's fault. And the damages could be quite considerable considering the nature of international commerce.
I do agree that if Verizon openly did the filtering and it was an opt-in country filter, there could be no case. I strongly agree with offering all sorts of such filters to customers.
An opt-out country filter, where people should reasonably have known there was a country filter, it is harder to say. A country filter is a pretty blunt instrument.
When I look at my held spam it shows which filter blocked it. Maybe the country filters are applied last, I don't know.
But I do know that only maybe 1-2% of my spam held because of the country filters (Argentina, Brazil, China, Nigeria). The other 98-99% of spam is filtered on the basis of other more specific filters. |
