Mailers need to make sure nobody uses their service for spam and even then it is a gray area. Most put their customers through some extra scrutiny.

That said, I don't think it is a good idea. What prompted this change? I would guess PR since that is their business.

They wanted to ban SGTReport and Press for Truth, so they came up with a new reason.

I don't know the level of scrutiny at mailchimp but I do know a few business that use mailchimp that are sending lots of emails in industries on the second list. They all pay for it and mailchimp either doesn't care or isn't looking too closely.

Mailers can’t risk getting blocked. Misinformation often looks like spam and needs to spread quickly in order to work. The people behind this type of media don’t care if they get blocked after the messages go out, they’ve already done their damage and can move on to the next service.
