New, by me: GOP Cries Censorship Over Spam Filters That Work
The chairman of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) last week sent a letter to Google's CEO demanding to know why Gmail was blocking messages from Republican senders while allegedly failing to block similar missives supporting Democrats. The letter followed media reports accusing Gmail of disproportionately flagging messages from the GOP fundraising platform WinRed and sending them to the spam folder. But according to experts who track daily spam volumes worldwide, WinRed's messages are getting blocked more because its methods of blasting email are increasingly way more spammy than that of ActBlue, the fundraising platform for Democrats.

1. A graphic shared by Estonian email intelligence firm Koli-Lõks OU shows the difference in mass email campaigns sent by ActBlue and WinRed. The graphic shows ActBlue's blue line relatively flat and very low relative to the volume of WinRed messages hitting their spamtraps, particularly in the final week of July 2025, when WinRed started massively hitting spamtraps in an fourfold increase.
