Google has scrapped Gmail’s controversial use of a “blacklist” that had been flagging Republican fundraising emails as “dangerous” — and sending them directly to spam, The Post has learned. As The Post exclusively reported last month, the GOP consulting firm Targeted Victory warned clients that Gmail was improperly flagging emails with links to the GOP fundraising platform WinRed – blocking them from inboxes and tagging them with a scary, red warning label that said “seems dangerous”. At the same time, fundraising pitches from ActBlue, a platform for Democrats, were delivered untouched, according to Targeted Victory.
