US FTC says Gmail treats Republican emails as spam, Google responds
Gmail uses “partisan filtering” to move Republican emails to the Spam folder but keeps those for Democrats in the Inbox, US Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson has alleged
“My understanding from recent reporting is Gmail’s spam filters routinely block messages from reaching consumers when those messages come from Republican senders but fail to block similar messages sent by Democrats,” Ferguson wrote in a letter to Alphabet Inc. CEO Sundar Pichai.
