The suit alleged that Google’s email platform labeled GOP fundraising emails as spam at a higher rate than those from the other side of the aisle.

Spam filtering is largely based on user reports. If their emails are getting marked by users at a higher rate than the other side of the aisle, that's because people are thinking the emails are spam, and thus should be filtered as such.

I donated once to Obama, and once in Wisconsin to watch the cast of The Princess Bride do a table read of the movie. I get a lot of emails ever since soliciting more donations. Honestly they are basically spam, but I never report them as such. I could probably opt out, but I just ignore them and gain even more "unread points" in my mailbox game.

Let's all sign-up to get the emails so we can report them as spam.

Thank god, now that they know they won't have to reverse the program soon, hopefully they'll fix the Republicans getting through text message screening too
