Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Just more for the left to ignore.

Imagine if Republican businesses did this.

In yet another sign of Big Tech bias, it turns out Google’s Gmail program leans strongly Democratic — automatically sending Republican fund-raising mail to users’ spam folders far more often than the Democratic ones in the runup to the 2020 elections.

The news comes courtesy of North Carolina State computer-science researchers, who examined 318,000 emails from May through November 2020 and evaluated Outlook and Yahoo accounts as well as Gmail.

As the Republican National Committee sums it up in its complaint to the Federal Election Commission, the Gmail algorithm sent GOP fundraising e-mails to spam at a rate 820% higher than Dem ones. The study puts it less shockingly: Nearly seven in 10 Republican messages auto-spammed, vs. less than one in 10 Democratic ones.

    And at some point it comes out as an “inadvertent error” in the algorithm.

    My question is why does this only ever happen one way?

    It’s a feature, not a bug

    But they would never cheat on an election or release a draft Supreme Court opinion because they have high character.

    They admit doing this things but they are fighting evil and are morally superior. Wouldn’t you have killed Hitler? If you disagree you need to be silenced or re-educated.

    I figured this out and messaged my representative about this back during the 2020 election. Maybe it made a difference.
