> “It’s sad that instead of simply stopping sending spam emails, Republicans engaged in a bad-faith pressure campaign — and it’s even more unfortunate that Google bought it,” Daniel Wessel, DNC deputy communications director, told The Verge in June. The problem is that what google (or whoever) classifies as spam, and what is actually spam from the perspective of the user, are two different things. You could send a highly desired email to a single person, and have it marked as spam because the IP address you got auto assigned spammed people in the past. So I think the idea here is that google will just never treat them as spam, because they actually aren't spam(at least, in the manner that penis enlargement pill emails are). You can just unsubscribe if you don't want to receive them, I think? Do campaigns send unsolicited emails? I assume they would need to gather your consent by signing up for a mailing list somewhere before they start messaging you.
