...Their emails would go from 90% deliverability to 0% in the last four days of every month for the past ten months. “Fifty-three percent of the country has a Gmail account, and people who’ve opted in to receive Republican emails ask to receive them — they wanted to know, where is my polling location? How do I register to vote? How do I send money? Google has said, ‘You know what? We’re going to block that communication.’” “[It] is usually the biggest time of the month when you’re telling people to vote or register or raise money. It’s intentional. It is big tech suppressing speech,” she explained...

Before jumping into a lawsuit, the RNC engaged in cordial conversations with the tech giant for 10 months, but to no avail. There’s no algorithm or part of our email that in the last four days is so different from the earlier parts of the month that would get you to 0% deliverability. So they were stalling us.” She said that the issue did not occur in October, however, crediting the lawsuit filed on the 21st.

“Think of it like a utility [company], listening in on your phone call and saying, ‘Oh, I don’t like what you’re saying, so I’m going to cut it off. And that’s essentially what they’re doing. And so the RNC sued through the Common Carrier Law in California.
