Google treated Republican fundraising emails as spam
https://nypost.com/2022/05/01/big-tech-d...andidates/
"...The news comes courtesy of North Carolina State computer-science researchers, who examined 318,000 emails from May through November 2020 and evaluated Outlook and Yahoo accounts as well as Gmail.
As the Republican National Committee sums it up in its complaint to the Federal Election Commission, the Gmail algorithm sent GOP fundraising e-mails to spam at a rate 820% higher than Dem ones. The study puts it less shockingly: Nearly seven in 10 Republican messages auto-spammed, vs. less than one in 10 Democratic ones.
The other programs’ bias favored GOP e-mails, but by much narrower margins. And vastly more Americans use Gmail for their personal correspondence.
The RNC estimates it lost $1.5 billion in donations as a result, a loss of resources that certainly could have shifted, say, the Georgia runoffs that handed control of the Senate to the Democrats.
Was it intentional? Only Google’s engineers know for sure. The same issue is why Elon Musk wants to make Twitter’s “censorship” algorithms open-source, so that any qualified outsider can flag issues...."

Looks like the Republicans just suck at getting their requests out.
But sure...blame the platform THEY used. The likely reason is that they contained a bunch of lies and nonsense in them. Pretty typical for the GOP.
Womp...womp.

Are you saying that the Dems requests are 100% more truthful and zero nonsense?

The rest of your statement beyond the bolded part is a rationalization. You admit the Dems are deceitful too - objectively so. Yet one side is treated very differently than the other. The obvious conclusion is Google puts their thumb on the scale.

Was it intentional...
Nah, all these Big. Tech. Inc., run by the left coast weirdo's independently decided to manipulate emails, block legit news stories, ban or "shadow ban" various posters and/or public figures and most famously decide to dump a HALF A BILLION dollars into electioneering stunts.
It all happened in a vacuum. Someone wants to talk about collusion, well there it is. Plain as day, and they weren't really even trying hard to hide it.
Makes one wonder if we'll ever have a truly free and fair election in this once great Country ever again.

I bet. Like pee tapes? Russia Russia Russia? Collusion? QPQ? 1/6 insurrection? Missing phone calls? And on and on and on……..
You need to go back to the Jen Psaki school of lying and diversion if you can circle back to it.

We should listen when they come right out and tell us what they are going to do. Google wasn’t shy about telling us they would not let a repeat of 2016 happen.
