Does this look like gmail is cracking down on piracy? Extra funny this is just them sending it to their kindle.

Also, Anna’s Archive linked me to a site for getting around this for Kindle but I forget + bookmarked on my laptop. Will edit this if I find it

    This has been a thing for years now. While I am sure it might annoy some pirates, it’s likely aimed at easily executed malware.

    I deal with spam filtering on a daily basis and about 90% of it originates from Gmail. Most of that is just fishing/fraud. It would really suck if my users could easily detonate malware attachments, so this Gmail policy is a good thing for me.

      I don’t even know why they deleted my account but at least I know my data is safe. Never looked back, but I have a mutualistic need to make people read
