The Republican National Committee is suing Google for allegedly sending its campaign emails to people's spam folders.
The RNC filed a lawsuit in federal court in California on Friday claiming that Google is,"unlawfully discriminating against the Republican National Committee by throttling its email messages because of the RNC's political affiliation and views."
CNN reported in August that federal election regulators voted to allow Google to proceed with a plan to make it easier for campaign emails to bypass spam filters. The proposal to run a pilot project came after intense Republican criticism that spam filters were biased against conservatives, a charge the tech giant denies. In a sign of public disgust with spam, the Federal Election Commission received thousands of public comments urging it to deny the request.
