Republicans continue to slam Google for alleged email filter bias despite claimed effort to fix
Google is aiming to quell concerns about its alleged throttling of GOP political emails, but Republicans are not satisfied with the company’s explanations.
The controversy follows a study from North Carolina State University that found Gmail sends a much higher percentage of Republican candidates’ emails to spam than Democrat candidates.
Republicans, led by Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., introduced a bill last month to force Google to exempt political emails from its spam algorithms and implement transparency requirements on email providers. Google responded by proposing a pilot program to the Federal Election Commission that would exempt messages from candidates for federal office from “methods of spam detection.”
