Google Blocking GOP Emails
By John Semmens
Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel complained that “this week we discovered that Google’s gmail algorithm designates emails originating from Republican authors as ’spam.’ This routes them into users’ spam folders where they go unnoticed and unread. So far, an estimated 22 million of our emails have suffered this fate. This is outrageous voter suppression by big tech and we have to hold them accountable.”
Google CEO Sundar Pichai defended the algorithm as “part of our customer service. Rather than letting gmail users be inundated with the despicable lies propagated by people that President Biden has identified as ‘enemies of our democracy,’ we are sparing them the time and trouble of having them pop up in their inboxes. Since we offer gmail service for free we feel it is our constitutional right to censor speech of which we disapprove.”
