Could've left spammy out of the sentence and it would still be 100% accurate.

It seems like the GOP lacks the digital infrastructure to implement viable email campaigns:
“Reached for comment, Google declined to address the specifics of the RNC’s claims but framed the anti-spam program as both limited and preliminary. “Eligible committees that will comply with strict security requirements and best practice standards can now register to participate in this pilot program approved by the Federal Election Commission,” said Google spokesperson José Castañeda in a statement on Thursday. “We expect to begin the pilot with a small number of campaigns from both parties and will test whether these changes improve the user experience, and provide more certainty for senders during this election period.”
Notably, in the initial terms of the program, Google said it would remove any participant whose emails are consistently flagged as spam 5 percent of the time. Participating groups are also required to meet certain security and bulk sender best practice standards. If the RNC believed it couldn’t meet those standards, it might explain why the committee decided not to apply.”

Republicans seem to sue to force people to carry their content that people don't want to carry.

In the Republican mindset, censorship is when they don't get everything they want, all the time, no matter who they annoy, inconvenience or endanger.

They would rather sue Google than understand how technology works.
- How many recipients marked the email as spam?
- Did the recipients opt-in to this email? if not, it's spam.
- Did they properly process opt-out requests?

Got a source for that statement? On the surface, it sounds inane. Digging deeper… also inane.

All I see is accusations, not legit sources. The NCSU study, according to it’s authors, has been misinterpreted by the GOP.

>You’d have to be a fool or a homer to not think google has a left wing bias.
Thanks for proving my point. Google is literally a megacorporation, how exactly do they have a "left-wing bias" just because right-wingers are deliberately breaking the rules?
Annnnnd he deleted the comment, lol

The party of "NO! NOT LIKE THAAAAAAT!"
You'd think that they'd be able to find some crypto bro douchebag to explain technology to them.

>Republicans have long accused big tech companies of discriminating against conservative views and suppressing free speech
I love how Americans (mainly Republicans in my experience but also Democrats) rally behind the Constitution but never seem to understand it. The fact that so many believe that “free speech” can’t be stifled by anyone — not just the government — really amazes me.

Well this tears it. Going after social security and Medicare is one thing, dismantling democracy to make a reality show host as dictator is another, but if they try to make me get more junk e-mail so help me god they will never get my vote.

I've already posted this on another version of this story, but I started receiving emails from a Republican in Denver, addressed to a man named Dale, which is not me. I unsubscribed, and the following day I started getting emails from Republicans all over the nation seeking donations. They all got clicked on spam.. maybe if Republicans weren't spammy motherfuckers they wouldn't get assigned to the spam bin.
