It’s not really a secret anymore that the Left doesn’t believe in a level playing field, and that the woke vanguard is censorious, fascist, and unwilling to allow for the fair and open enunciation of opposing points of view. That’s why so many conservatives, including Donald Trump himself, have been banned from Twitter and Facebook, and that’s why Parler, Gettr, Gab and Truth Social exist at all: to give a voice to those who have been denied a platform for having views that don’t correspond to those of the political and media elites. But the censorship is even more far-reaching than that: on Monday, Fox News reported that “the Republican National Committee [RNC] says Google is suppressing get-out-the-vote [GOTV] and fundraising emails by sending millions of GOP election emails to users’ Gmail spam folders, with party leadership threatening to explore legal options to ‘put an end’ to what they call a ‘clear pattern of bias.’” Google, biased against conservatives? Why, the only people who could possibly be shocked by this are working for Mitt Romney and Adam Kinzinger.
RNC officials state that “emails being sent by the RNC to Republican subscribers who use Gmail accounts in the final days of each month are being sent to spam folders.” This is happening on a stunningly grand scale: “An RNC official told Fox News Digital that since Sept. 28, Gmail has ‘suppressed’ more than 22 million RNC emails—358,000 of which were GOTV emails.”
Google, however, professes to be shocked! — shocked! – by these charges. Why, everyone knows that Google is placid, gray, nonpartisan, and thoroughly businesslike! Politics? What’s that? Politics, says Google, has nothing, nothing whatsoever, to do with its decision about whether or not to mark a certain email as spam and send it to spam folders.

So will the GOP finally recognize the deep-state, along with their “tech” and MSM cronies - are at war with them?
And given that - why does the GOP still allow people like Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham in positions of power?
It’s just a party trick. Nothing to take seriously nor to impute an ulterior motive.
Well maybe Google finally did the world a service. I am sick to death of RNC spammail threatening me with banishment if I don’t sign up for 100 different $50/month contributions for the rest of my life. AH RINOs
It’s 100% okay with GOP establishment as long as tech keeps the GOP on the money train.
In 2020 there were videos of this being done on texting. It was only occurring with certain carriers.
And it's quite possible, even likely, that the RNC bulk emails are structured so as to score like bulk, unsolicited emails because they are bulk, unsolicited emails.
In other words, spam.
“emails being sent by the RNC to Republican subscribers who use Gmail accounts in the final days of each month are being sent to spam folders”
Did the RNC consider that someone can be a “subscriber” (which is a misleading term, since these are “opt-out” email lists, not “opt-in”, so you can get on the list without subscribing to anything), and also have told your email provider to automatically route something from that sender to the spam folder? It’s not necessarily the “algorithm” that is determining these emails are spam. It could very well be that the receivers themselves told google to put the emails in the trash bin.
Also, how does the RNC know which folder in someone’s private mailbox their emails end up in? That’s not standard information provided back to an email sender by the mail protocol, so how are they getting their hands on that private information??? Have they embedded a little spyware in their emails to “subscribers”???
“....threatening to explore legal options to ‘put an end’ to what they call a ‘clear pattern of bias.”
Truly the STUPID Party.....I’m so glad I unregistered myself and left the Republican Party back in December 2020! I no longer want to be part of the “controlled opposition”
google is not a search engine. It’s a vast enterprise that uses the internet to shape the world to the liking of the left.
It tries to control our thinking, and largely succeeds. It suppresses truth and promotes leftist propaganda. It has played a major role in past elections and is poised, more than ever, to push the next election to the left.
what do you call a republican with gmail?
clueless or complicit
No repub or conservative should be using anything google related.
Problem identified.
Can only judge by my experience with Google email...
Every day, I continue to get 10-to-15 SaveAmerica emails from Trump and relatives...
The only GOP emails being suppressed as spam are all the ones from the RNC, etc that I registered as spam...
At one point last year, I was getting about 6-to-8 from those unwanted sources...
I am so sick of Big Tech and Big Government.
I was on these mailing lists for a while but they just deluge you with nonsense that insults your intelligence. I also know too many people who were tricked by that “WinRed” scam site. They were told the contributions would be “matched” but instead it was billed to their own cards repeatedly.
Spam filters are based on people trying to get off the lists themselves. It takes forever and they put you back on after a few months all the time.
I never give to political committees now. Just the candidates with a check seems to be the safest method.
This has been going on for almost 20 years.
Can we please get some real engineers working in the next GOP administration?
Yahoo has been doing it too.
