    Marked Spam

    In the face of a study out of North Carolina State University that indicates Google was unfairly directing emails from GOP lawmakers to recipients’ spam folders, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) claims the Big Tech behemoth is intentionally ignoring senators’ questions on the subject.
    Following a meeting with Google at the senator’s request, Cruz told Politico, “Google deflected, refused to provide any data, repeatedly refused to answer direct questions.”
    The meeting, hosted by National Republican Senatorial Committee chair Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), reportedly included NRSC staffers and Republican political strategists, in addition to Google Chief Legal Officer Kent Walker.

    The study found that Gmail directed 59.3% more emails from GOP candidates to spam than it did those from candidates on the left. Additionally, the report evidently reveals a political bias from Google in the months preceding the 2020 election.

    It is time to break up all the big tech companies.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    I have a g-mail account because of my phone. I don't use it. It is packed with whatever. I do use google calendar for my personal life; Outlook at work.

    My primary personal email is AOL. That actually catches almost all spam.

    The good thing about gmail is you can open your spam folder and mark messages "Not Spam" and it changes its rules.

    Of course, I considered all unsolicited advertising, including political pleas, as spam anyway.
