Avaaz depends on Google delivering all mail sent to the user to the
user. Possibly modulo unsolicited or "spam" mail.

In a similar sense, Google could break this list, by censoring it on
Gmail. Should it do that?

Any infrastructure provider can break any company or organization that
uses its infrastructure. But we expect infrastructure to be fair.

FYI, Avaaz is a liberal activist group. They send people who sign up
with them various petitions to sign or campaigns to donate to. If their
emails are shunted into a "bulk mailings" folder, then they'll be
effectively crippled.
