RNC Sues Gmail For Classifying Party Emails As Spam

On Friday, the US Republican National Committee filed a lawsuit in California’s Eastern District Court. The complaint accuses Google of spamming millions of RNC mailing campaign emails. “At about the same time at the end of each month, Google spams nearly all RNC emails.

The committee accuses the tech giant of “discrimination” against it, which “restricts its email messages due to political affiliations and RNC views.” 

The RNC does not deny that for most of the pre-election month, almost all of its emails were received normally by users, but at the end of the month, which is the most important time for fundraising, almost all of their emails ended up in spam folders: “Google sent millions of emails to RNC  into the spam folders of potential donors and supporters at key moments of electoral fundraising and community building,” the lawsuit alleges.
