<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>The Republican National Committee<\/a> has filed a lawsuit against tech giant Google<\/a>, alleging the company has been suppressing its email solicitations ahead of November's midterm elections - an allegation Google denies.

The lawsuit, filed in the
District Court<\/a> for the Eastern District of California Friday evening, accuses Gmail<\/a> of \"discriminating\" against the RNC<\/a> by unfairly sending the group's emails to users' spam folders, impacting both fundraising and get-out-the-vote efforts in pivotal swing states.

\"Enough is enough - we are suing Google for their blatant bias against Republicans,\" said RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel in a statement to The Associated Press. \"For ten months in a row, Google has sent crucial end-of-month Republican GOTV and fundraising emails to spam with zero explanation. We are committed to putting an end to this clear pattern of bias.\"

Google, in a statement, denied the charges. \"As we have repeatedly said, we simply don't filter emails based on political affiliation. Gmail's spam filters reflect users' actions,\" said spokesperson Jose Castaneda, adding that the company provides training and guidelines to campaigns and works to \"maximize email deliverability while minimizing unwanted spam.\"

The lawsuit focuses on how Google's Gmail, the world's largest email service with about 1.5 billion users, screens solicitations and other material to help prevent users from being inundated by junk mail. To try to filter material that account holders may not want in their inboxes, Google and other major email providers create programs that flag communications likely to be perceived as unwelcome and move them to spam folders that typically are rarely, if ever, perused by recipients.

The suit says Google has \"relegated millions of RNC emails en masse to potential donors' and supporters' spam folders during pivotal points in election fundraising and community building\" - particularly at the end of each month, when political groups tend to send more messages. \"It doesn't matter whether the email is about donating, voting, or community outreach. And it doesn't matter whether the emails are sent to people who requested them,\" it reads.

Google contends its algorithms are designated to be neutral, but a study released in March by North Carolina State University found that Gmail was far more likely to block messages from conservative causes. The study, based on emails sent during the U.S. presidential campaign in 2020, estimated Gmail placed roughly 10% of email from \"left-wing\" candidates into spam folders, while marking 77% from \"right-wing\" candidates as spam.

Gmail rivals
Yahoo<\/a> and Microsoft<\/a>'s Outlook were more likely to favor pitches from conservative causes than Gmail, the study found.

The RNC seized upon that study in April to call upon the
Federal Election Commission<\/a> to investigate Google's \"censorship\" of its fundraising efforts, which it alleged amounted to an in-kind contribution to Democratic candidates and served as \"a financially devastating example of Silicon Valley tech companies unfairly shaping the political playing field to benefit their preferred far-left candidates.\"

Since then, the commission has approved a pilot program that creates a way for political committees to get around spam filters so their fundraising emails find their way into recipients' primary inboxes. Gmail is participating in the \" Verified Sender Program, \" which allows senders to bypasses traditional spam filters, but also gives users the option of unsubscribing from a sender. If the unsubscribe button is hit, a sender is supposed to remove that Gmail address from their distribution lists.

As of Friday evening, the RNC had not signed up to participate in the pilot program.

Republicans who have tried to cast doubt on the outcome of the 2020 election without parroting the most extreme and baseless claims about corrupted voting machines and stolen votes have often tried to blame big technology companies like Twitter and Facebook that they allege were biased against former President Donald Trump. A long list of state and local election officials, courts and members of Trump's own administration have said there is no evidence of the mass fraud Trump alleges.

共和党全国委员会起诉科技巨头吗谷歌称,该公司一直在抑制其电子邮件请求之前,11月的中期选举——谷歌否认这一指控。

在提出诉讼地方法院加州东部地区周五晚上,指责Gmail“歧视”的共和党全国委员会不公平地向用户发送的邮件的垃圾邮件文件夹,影响融资和选民动员活动关键摇摆州。

“够了,我们正在起诉谷歌对共和党人明目张胆的偏见,”共和党全国委员会主席罗娜McDaniel说在一份声明中,美联社。“连续十个月,谷歌已经派出重要月底共和党GOTV和筹款邮件与零垃圾邮件解释。我们致力于结束这种清晰的模式的偏见。”

诉讼关注谷歌的Gmail,世界上最大的电子邮件服务拥有大约15亿用户,屏幕募捐和其他物质来帮助防止用户被垃圾邮件淹没。尝试过滤材料,账户持有人可能不希望在他们的收件箱,谷歌和其他主要电子邮件提供商创建程序旗通讯可能被视为不受欢迎的,他们转移到垃圾邮件文件夹,通常很少,如果有的话,仔细阅读了收件人。

诉讼中称,谷歌已经“被数以百万计的共和党全国委员会全体邮件中潜在的捐赠者和支持者的垃圾邮件文件夹关键分选举筹款和社区建设”——特别是在每月月底,当政治团体往往派遣更多的消息。“不管这封邮件是关于捐赠,投票,或社区外展。,不管这些电子邮件被发送到请求的人,”它读取。

谷歌声称其算法是指定保持中立,但北卡罗莱纳州立大学3月公布的一项研究发现,Gmail是更有可能阻止消息保守的原因。这项研究中,基于电子邮件发送2020年美国总统竞选期间,估计Gmail放置大约10%的电子邮件从“左翼”候选人到垃圾邮件文件夹,而这77%的“右翼”候选人为垃圾邮件。

Gmail的竞争对手雅虎微软的前景更有可能支持球比Gmail从保守的原因,研究发现。

抓住了,4月份研究共和党国家委员会呼吁联邦选举委员会调查谷歌的“审查”的筹款努力,它相当于实物贡献民主党候选人和作为“经济毁灭性的硅谷科技公司不公平的例子形成政治竞技场的好处他们喜欢极左候选人。”

自那时以来,该委员会已经批准了一项试点项目,创建了一个为政治委员会绕过垃圾邮件过滤器所以他们筹款邮件找到主要进入收件人的收件箱。Gmail是参与“验证发送方程序,发送者可以绕过传统的垃圾邮件过滤器,但也给用户退订从发送方的选项。如果退订按钮,发送方应该是Gmail地址的分配列表中删除。

在星期五晚上,共和党全国委员会没有报名参加试点。

共和党人试图质疑2020年大选的结果没有鹦鹉学舌般地重复最极端和毫无根据的关于损坏的投票机和偷来的票经常试图指责大型科技像Twitter和Facebook这样的公司,他们声称是偏见反对前总统唐纳德·特朗普。一长串的州和地方选举官员、法院和特朗普的政府的成员表示,没有证据的质量欺诈胜过称。
