against tech giant Google, alleging the company has been suppressing its email solicitations ahead of the midterm elections in November — an allegation Google denies.
"Enough is enough — we are suing Google for their blatant bias against Republicans," said RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel in a statement to The Associated Press."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."
The lawsuit focuses on how Google's Gmail, the world's largest email service with about 1.5 billion users, screens solicitations and other material to help prevent users from being inundated by junk mail. To try to filter material that account holders may not want in their inboxes, Google and other major email providers create programs that flag communications likely to be perceived as unwelcome and move them to spam folders that typically are rarely, if ever, perused by recipients.
Gmail rivals Yahoo and Microsoft's Outlook were more likely to favor pitches from conservative causes than Gmail, the study found.to investigate Google's"censorship" of its fundraising efforts, which it alleged amounted to an in-kind contribution to Democratic candidates and served as"a financially devastating example of Silicon Valley tech companies unfairly shaping the political playing field to benefit their preferred far-left candidates.
