REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE SUES GOOGLE OVER EMAIL SPAM FILTERS

The Republican National Committee has filed a lawsuit against tech giant Google, alleging the company has been suppressing its email solicitations ahead of November's midterm elections - an allegation Google denies.

The lawsuit, filed in the District Court for the Eastern District of California, accuses Gmail of "discriminating" against the RNC by unfairly sending the group's emails to users' spam folders, impacting both fundraising and get-out-the-vote efforts in pivotal swing states.

"Enough is enough. - we are suing Google for their blatant bias against Republicans," said RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel in a statement. "For ten months in a row, Google has sent crucial end-of-month Republican GOTV and fundraising emails to spam with zero explanation. We are committed to putting an end to this clear pattern of bias."

Google, in a statement, denied the charges. "As we have repeatedly said, we simply don't filter emails based on political affiliation. Gmail's spam filters reflect users' actions," said spokesperson José Castañeda, adding that the company provides training and guidelines to campaigns and works to "maximize email deliverability while minimizing unwanted spam!"
