The Republican National Committee on Friday filed a lawsuit against Google for applying its Gmail spam filter correctly to the insane bullshit they send to would-be donors, Axios reports. Back in June, Google caved and made some changes to allow more Republican spam emails to come through, but apparently that wasn’t enough to satisfy the party, whose complaint alleges that Google “has relegated millions of RNC emails en masse to potential donors’ and supporters’ spam folders during pivotal points in election fundraising and community building.”
“The timing of Google’s most egregious filtering is particularly damning. For most of each month, nearly all of the RNC’s emails make it into users’ inboxes. At approximately the same time at the end of each month, Google sends to spam nearly all of the RNC’s emails. Critically, and suspiciously, this end of the month period is historically when the RNC’s fundraising is most successful.”
