Almost all email servers are doing it with the activation confirmation emails you get from websites like rumble and so forth when you sign up. It won’t show up in your inbox. If it shows up at all it will be in your junk mail or spam folder. This curbs or deters about 25% of people from following through with the sign-up process. They click on sign up and then they get a confirmation email and after about 30 minutes waiting for it when it doesn’t show up they just get distracted and forget about it move on to something else.

It’s disgusting what’s going on. But as I’ve been saying all along until independent minded or conservative minded people start fighting this fire with fire, it will go on until they have total control. Keyboard warriors prove nothing and do nothing. Which is what I’m doing right now. Lol literally need to start suing these companies. For billions of dollars.

To be fair, Google's AI probably scanned for keywords like freedom, Constitution, Rights, lawful, logic and reason, and then sent all e-mails with those words straight into the spam folder. And maybe it accidentally looked for signatures containing an (R) , and sent them to spam as well

Perhaps there's a logical reason for that.

Why would ANYONE use GMail? I mean, it's Google, who makes ****-tons of money out of analyzing your behavior patterns.

People who use GMail kinda deserve what they get, IMO.

This is outraging, but not surprising. Typical dems.

Yep. Started happening quite some time ago. I never signed up for anything Trump related, but somehow started getting "Trump" emails in my inbox several years ago. (Cause Google doesn't spy on anyone, no.)

They were always asking for money. There were many, meaning they were from various supporting organizations or groups, not a single one actually from Trump. (No, I don't give money to politicians, or those who want to be politicians, no matter how much I support them.)

Then, suddenly, they all started appearing in my spam on gmail.

On the other hand, I once signed up to Debbie Wasserman Shultz using an old FL address, just so I could keep up with the bs talking points of the left. They still show up in my main inbox, to this day.

It's been several years that this has been going on. Wondering why this is suddenly a story.

It's an account I've had since 2004. I have friends everywhere around the world. A lot of time can go between us talking or seeing each other, but no matter what, they know how to reach me because I've kept that email address. I use it only for that reason, bills, and to collect the spam that some companies like to send out to you after claiming that they never sell your information.

For everything else, I use Proton.
