Eric Goldman, writing for his Technology & Marketing Law Blog, has just shared an update in the RNC v. Google saga, this time the Ninth Circuit wastes very little time shutting the whole thing down.
If you remember the earlier round, the Republican National Committee claimed Gmail’s spam filtering was politically biased against conservative email. Eric covered that mess in detail in August 2024, including the implications for Section 230 and spam filtering in general. It’s worth a read.
Now the appeals court has stepped in and, in Eric’s words, “unceremoniously dumped the case.” Click on through as he walks us through the Ninth Circuit opinion, explains why the RNC was never a Gmail customer in the first place, and rebuts the ongoing attempt to frame spam filtering as partisan censorship.
