Oct 22 (Reuters) - The Republican National Committee (RNC) filed a lawsuit against Google on Friday, for allegedly sending its emails to users' spam folders.

Gmail users are getting new tools to opt out of a political email test program. Developers whipped up a "more prominent unsubscribe button" to offset spam filter changes. The publicly contested program aims to loosen spam filter restrictions that previously kept Gmail users from having to manually purge political fundraising appeals from their inboxes. The policy change was sparked by conservatives complaining that Google automatically rerouted more of their emails to spam folders than others. Google maintains that its pilot program is "not intended to favor or disfavor any particular candidate, party or speaker, nor intended to influence the outcome of any election."
Well now, some of those laid-off employees are having trouble keeping up with demand from recruiters — and some say they've received reachouts from more than 70 companies. Laid-off Snap employees describe "overwhelming" recruiter outreach. After the company laid off a staggering 20% of its staff, some former workers' inboxes are filled with messages from Facebook, Netflix, and TikTok recruiters. As former employees found themselves without jobs, some told Insider they've fielded dozens of messages from recruiters. What laid-off Snap employees told us.
While the recent layoffs at Snap came as a shock, former employees found themselves in high demand, describing the resulting volume of recruiter reachouts as "overwhelming." Snap laid off about 20% of its staff earlier this month. Several laid-off staffers told Insider that since then, their inboxes and LinkedIn posts had been swarmed by recruiters from top tech companies like Google, TikTok, Amazon, Meta, and Netflix. Other companies like Unity, Dropbox, and CrowdStrike have swarmed the comment sections of former Snap employees who shared on LinkedIn that they'd been laid off. At least 20 creator-economy companies have laid off staff recently, and even some of the largest tech companies like Google and Facebook have implemented hiring freezes or layoffs.
The source of the tension, whether real or perceived, was Rosenblum's forthcoming debut novel, "Bad Summer People." But it has already sent the tiny town, located off the coast of Long Island, New York, into a tizzy. But everyone DVR'd, everyone watched it, and everyone relished that their little summer town was somehow elevated to prominence." Rosenblum simply took events that punctuated the summer, like the town-wide Bay picnic and the summer tennis tournament, and used them as a backdrop for her fictional drama. "You'll see him on the tennis court, and you'll see her around town, and nothing's going to change," they said.
Google asked federal regulators to OK a plan for easing spam filters on political emails. Even a commissioner who wasn't thrilled with the notion of unleashing more political emails on an overloaded electorate concluded Google's program proposal is legal. "If people want political spam, let them sign up for it. Before the final vote Thursday, Weintraub motioned to approve a alternate ruling that would have effectively prevented Google from launching its pilot program. Gmail users will retain the right to opt-out of receiving political emails, but this will require more vigilance on their part.

  + stars: | 2021-07-13 | by ( Karl Rove | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
A memo from White House senior adviser Mike Donilon landed in Washington inboxes last week, claiming President Biden is enjoying a “strong jolt of momentum.”Mr. Donilon spun a tale with Mr. Biden’s “approval rating on the upswing, a resilient economic climate, and strong support for the President’s agenda.” Neither “Republican extremism” nor abortion or “concern for our democracy” decided the November election, he said. Instead, the answer lies in “what hasn’t been fully reported on” or “fully understood”—namely, “how important a role the achievements and agenda of the President and the Democrats played in the midterms.”
