I work at Microsoft and have not seen this - but Microsoft provides tools that company IT admins can use to do whatever they want, and so I suspect it might be your company doing this. I just did a test sending the above from my hotmail account to my Microsoft Outlook account and it came through no problem.

That explanation doesn't hold up, Chris. It's my personal account, not a company account. (it's hotmail, but I access it through Outlook).

There were other commenters to the limited hang-out substack whose "likes" essentially froze around 5pm my time. So this wasn't isolated to just me. It's clear, there were fewer new readers of the substack beginning around that time.

Sorry, but the part Bill Gates has played in the pandemic fiasco, along with the censorious behavior of other Big Tech, doesn't provide Microsoft with any benefit of the doubt.

Anything is possible, it is a big company, but weird that I'm not seeing this in my hotmail account, nor my office 365 account. By the way, Bill Gates has essentially nothing to do with the running of Microsoft these days. I have seen LinkedIn do some questionable things with censorship, and many employees complain when they do. So, I would recommend you find a support link and complain, chances are someone will see it and these things do bubble up if enough people speak up. All it takes for evil to thrive is for good people to do nothing.
