According to a lawsuit, the Republican National Committee said that it was blocked from sending millions of emails because of its political leanings.
The RNC was discriminated against for its political views due to the fact that almost all of its messages to Gmail were sent at the end of the month.
According to the suit, that's when most of the RNC's appeals are sent.
The tech giant denied that it filters email based on political leanings.
According to the lawsuit, millions of RNC emails were sent to potential donors and supporters in the middle of the campaign.
It doesn't matter what the email is about. It doesn't matter if the email is sent to people who asked for it or not.
According to the company, it used artificial intelligence-driven filters to determine whether an email is legitimate or not.
According to a 2020 study by North Carolina State University, left-wing groups were more likely to have their emails blocked by Gmail than right-wing groups were.
The RNC asked the Federal Election Commission to look into the matter.
In a statement to The AP on Friday, RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said: "Enough is enough."
For ten months in a row, the end-of-month Republican GOTV and fundraising emails have been sent to the junk mail. This clear pattern of bias is something we are committed to ending.
As we have repeatedly said, we don't filter emails based on political affiliation. Users' actions are reflected in the spam filters.
The company provides training and guidelines to campaigns in order to maximize email deliverability, according to the spokesman.
Insider asked for comment from the company, but they didn't reply.
