against tech giant Google, alleging the company has been suppressing its email solicitations ahead of the midterm elections in November — an allegation Google denies.
"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."
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.
