Google Sabotaging Republicans in the Next Election with Email Filtering?

&NewLine;<p>Google is no friend of conservatives&comma; as has been known for many years&comma; and now it has been caught in the act – the act of actively undermining Republican fundraising campaigns via its politically weaponized email service&comma; i&period;e&period; Gmail&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Last week&comma; the <em>New York Post<&sol;em> &lpar;NYP&rpar; reported that Google was caught targeting Republican fundraising campaigns by flagging the emails for these campaigns as &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;suspicious” and thus sending them to the Spam folder of Gmail accounts&period; In an email service&comma; the most readily visible folder is the Inbox&comma; which appears to users upon logging in&period; Many people do not check their Spam folder&comma; also called Junk mail&comma; and see its contents&period; In other words&comma; to hide a message from the user&comma; an email service can direct it straight to the Spam folder&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>As the NYP story reported &lpar;August 13&rpar;&comma; conservative strategy firm Targeted Victory has been observing the selective email filtering by Gmail along party lines&period; The firm noted how Gmail was allowing Democrat email campaigns while spamming similar Republican ones&period; To verify this&comma; Targeted Victory went ahead and tested it by sending messages with Republican fundraiser links&comma; like the fundraising platform WinRed&period; Gmail instantly marked them as &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;dangerous&period;” The story wrote&colon; <em>Meanwhile&comma; Targeted Victory conducted tests in which emails containing links to the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue were delivered without issue&period; The memo included video demonstrations of the firm’s tests&period;<&sol;em><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<figure class&equals;"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class&equals;"wp-block-embed&lowbar;&lowbar;wrapper">&NewLine;<amp-youtube layout&equals;"responsive" width&equals;"1080" height&equals;"810" data-videoid&equals;"p2lmcwAJfcc" title&equals;"Urgent&colon;
