To be clear the GOP is sending spam, and despite being given a tool that allows them to explicitly bypass spam protection (and so force gmail users to read that spam), they are still too incompetent to send email. Rather than making their spam less objectively spam like, this new salvo is “Google should be required to say what a political body wants it to say, and should be required to force its users to read that messaging”.
This is of course blatantly a first amendment violation, but clearly that doesn’t matter any more than the religious BS on us money, the constant attacks on people for being in sufficiently Christian or the wrong type of Christian, etc.
- tstrimple 4y agoThis does seem to be a case of the RNC just not using the tools provided to them. > "However, the publication noted that the RNC has not enrolled in Gmail’s spam filtering pilot program which is designed to alleviate these kinds of errors." > "The ability for political campaigners’ emails to bypass the email service’s spam filtering was granted by the Federal Election Commission in August. When the feature rolled out, eligible committees were then able to register their participation subject to terms and requirements set out by Google." Seems like quite an odd thing to sue over.
