This is somewhat of a (probably unintentional) disinformation.
It is not her email host that the story is about, but her newsletter service, MailChimp. She uses MailChimp to send out automated emails to her subscribers, and MailChimp, according to them, automatically filtered out her content, temporarily blocking her emails. On further inquiry, MailChimp has admitted that upon a human inspection, they have found nothing problematic with the content, and revoked the block.
Now, what's interesting is that she did actually remove her actual email address from her YouTube channel just recently. Her actual email provider is ProtonMail, an email host marketed as a privacy-conscious service, but theorized by some to be a honeypot. Is it, and is her actual emailing compromised? We don't know. Is the story about that? Definitely no.
Yes your correct. I have used the wrong words. This is her news letter but in a sense still censoring the information she is trying to share regardless.
Not anymore. I personally would give the benefit of the doubt to MailChimp and say that their automated system indeed was the culprit in this case. But even if I'm naive and wrong, they've since apologized for the mistake and let her emails flow.
Please make sure to update the post with this, as well as the proper phrasing, so that this doesn't mislead anybody. Thank you.

Will do. At the time of the post she had not gotten a reply back.

Understood and I'm not accusing you of anything whatsoever. It was an important find at the time.

I didn't think you were. It's okay. Thanks for the suggestions, they are appreciated.
