'The Email Pushback Project'

The idea of The Email Pushback Project is simple, effective, and based upon four central ideas:

1. Though not all chain emails are nefarious, many use lies, distortions and twisted logic to advance political goals. This makes them indistinguishable from propaganda. Such emails are not merely annoying - They are actively harmful.

2. Your friend or relative needs to be publicly told that their mass-forwards are not welcome in your Inbox. Email was not designed to be their propaganda distributor.

3. Lies, distortions and illogic should be directly confronted and debunked. As the old saying goes, “Sunlight is the best disinfectant.”

4. Exposing BS and spreading awareness of The Email Pushback Project informs others, and gives them the tools to push back as well.
