Are these wrong?
Yes. We talked about the “shadow stats” folks in 2008
Yes, of course we all remember that discussion from just 14 years ago.

N.C. State did the study.
Did you read the N.C. State’s paper?
If you did, you’d find that the paper states also that Outlook and Yahoo! Mail are more likely to filter out Democratic fund-raising emails than Republican ones, and the study’s author plainly states they have no reason to believe that Google deliberately biased their spam filter algorithm towards one side or another. Yet you, and the FoxNews piece you chose to cite, complains only about bias towards one side while keeping silent about bias towards the other side.
As for my own preference, I want all fund-raising emails sent to the spam folder, regardless of party affiliation. I do not want email services wasting engineering resources trying to fix any “partisan bias,” rather, I want them focusing on filtering out ALL fund-raising spam emails.
@Jolly said in To Spam, Or Not To Spam:
Except they didn't do that for the Democrat fund-raising emails.
Wrong. I see no lack of Democratic fund-raising emails in my Gmail spam folder. Political fund-raising emails purportedly from Clinton, Carville, Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Schiff, Warren, etc. have appeared in my spam folder at one time or another.
If you (or whoever wrote the FoxNews piece) “see” only Republican fund-raising emails in your Gmail spam folder, it’s not because Gmail classifies only Republican fund-raising emails, it’s because you (or whoever wrote the FoxNews piece) are primarily targeted by Republican spammers and you naturally get more Republican fund-raising emails to begin with.

It's far worse than this, folks.
What other “far worse” things about TikTok do you have in mind?
Kudos to Google/Gmail. Political solicitation emails are, indeed, spam. It’s good that Google/Gmail send the lot of them to the spam folder.
If you are looking for a car that has a good "bang for the buck" ratio or is particularly good in some technical detail, then this is almost certainly the wrong car.
The only valid reason to buy a Mini Cooper is because you like the look so much that you are willing to live with disadvantages in other regards.

What kind of name is Cassidy anyway?
@Mik said in A bad day for Trump:
A week AFTER 1/6 she was announcing that she would be working at Mar-A-Lago on the Trump team. Then she didn't get the job. Then she decided to tell these tales, and the clouds parted and jobs from heaven came down.
The “disgruntled (ex-)employee” attack is pretty much foisted on every (former) employee who says negative things about the (former) employer by the employer’s team. I didn’t think you’d get taken in by this sort of attack so easily.
