Let's say they were right and there was bias in Google's spam filters. Isn't that the invisible hand of the free market? They need to make up their fucking minds.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It truly is a benefit to society if right wing garbage gets caught in spam filters
But was this a case of right wing garbage specifically being caught? Or was it garbage in general and that happened to be primarily right wing? I don't want left wing garbage getting through either, but would have no hesitation believing the right produces more garbage. Thus leading to some attempt to claim political bias.
Don't like it? Start your own email service Mr. Boot Strappington.
Maybe I'm projecting, but I'd assume the right might go off looking for websites that shout COVID is a lie and ivermectin will save you and to sign up for their email list so they can send you more about why Trump won 2020. It's not googles fault that you gave some random dude your email to sell to the prince of Nigeria.
If users report your ads as spam or harassment, their servicer will screen your ads out.
That's just business. Quit being shit humans and shittier Americans.
What happened to their worship of "the free market" and "private businesses are allowed to do whatever they want"?
Conservatives are not capable of honesty. They are not capable of making any statement in good faith. Never, ever trust the word of a conservative. Never.
It’s okay until it hurts their very fragile feelings. Fuck everyone else’s feelings though
I don't know how I got signed up for Chris Christie's SMS list, but I smile everytime Google tells me it got filtered as spam.
