On Thursday, the Federal Election Commission approved a new proposal from Google<\/a> to keep campaign emails from being marked as spam.<\/p>\n
Google\u2019s plan, first reported by Axios<\/em> in June<\/a>, would allow for candidates, political party committees, and leadership political action committees to apply for the program that would make their messages exempt from Gmail\u2019s spam detection systems. While Google did not need the FEC to approve the plan before rolling it out, it sought a vote earlier this summer to ensure the program wasn\u2019t at risk of breaking current election regulations. In its Thursday ruling, the FEC confirmed that Google\u2019s plan was legal. <\/p>\n
\u201cI have a hard time getting around the fact that this is a unique benefit offered to political committees, and only political committees,\u201d commissioner Ellen L. Weintraub said during the FEC\u2019s Thursday open meeting. Because of the program\u2019s exclusivity, Weintraub likened it to Google offering its own \u201cin-kind\u201d contribution to political groups.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI have a hard time getting around the fact that this is a unique benefit offered to political committees\u201d<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nGoogle announced its political filtering plans shortly after a recent study found that the company was disproportionately flagging Republican fundraising emails as spam when compared to those of Democratic lawmakers and candidates. The study enraged the GOP and inspired a flurry of critical statements and an invitation for Kent Walker, Google\u2019s chief legal officer, to explain the company\u2019s filtering decisions in a private meeting on Capitol Hill<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur goal during this pilot program is to assess alternative ways of addressing concerns from bulk senders, while giving users clear controls over their inboxes to minimize unwanted email,\u201d Jos\u00e9 Casta\u00f1eda, a Google spokesperson, said in a statement to The Verge<\/em> on Thursday. \u201cWe will continue to monitor feedback as the pilot rolls out to ensure it is meeting its goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite offering the proposal as a concession, Google took issue with the study\u2019s findings, claiming that researchers examined a small sample size of emails and didn\u2019t take into consideration whether campaigns used the appropriate bulk emailing tools already provided within the service.<\/p>\n
But Google\u2019s explanations couldn\u2019t change the minds of Republicans who are struggling to meet their online fundraising goals this cycle. The New York Times <\/em>reported<\/a> last month that the total amount donated to GOP entities and federal campaigns fell by more than 12 percent in the second quarter when compared to the first quarter. The drop is highly unusual, especially as small-dollar donations traditionally increase as elections approach. <\/p>\n
That fundraising decline combined with the controversial filtering study roused Republicans into a frenzy over the summer. Sen. John Thune (R-SD) and nearly two dozen other Republicans put out a bill that would ban email providers<\/a> like Google from algorithmically sorting federal campaign emails. In a draft memo obtained by The Washington Post<\/em><\/a> <\/em>earlier this month, the National Republican Senatorial Committee argued that \u201cGoogle and its algorithms have handed a distinct advantage to Democrat fundraising efforts, resulting in Republicans raising millions of dollars less than they should.\u201d <\/p>\n
Once Google reached out to the FEC asking to issue a decision on its legality, the commission opened the program up for public comment. Nearly all of the hundreds of comments filed with the commission were negative. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) argued that Google\u2019s proposal would be a boon for Republicans and open Gmail up to \u201cabusive fundraising tactics.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s sad that instead of simply stopping sending spam emails, Republicans engaged in a bad-faith pressure campaign \u2014 and it\u2019s even more unfortunate that Google bought it,\u201d Daniel Wessel, DNC deputy communications director, told The Verge <\/em>in June<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Former President Donald Trump\u2019s campaigns have come under fire for using spammy tactics in its fundraising emails, often using misleading subject lines or mimicking conversations voters might have with friends and family over the internet. On Tuesday, Republican candidate for US Senate in Pennsylvania Dr. Mehmet Oz came under fire<\/a> for sending out a campaign fundraising email to supporters with the subject line \u201cFBI RAID \u2013 BREAKING INFORMATION\u201d only hours after the FBI searched Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago home earlier in the week. <\/p>\n
With the FEC\u2019s Thursday decision, Google will soon allow for campaigns like Oz\u2019s to apply for the program and ensure that their emails, despite using spam-like methods and language, won\u2019t be filtered out of a user\u2019s inbox. <\/p>\n
