RNC sued Google for filtering spam but never used Gmail tool that bypasses filter

The Republican National Committee (RNC) sued Google in October 2022 over its spam-filtering practices but never participated in the pilot program, Google said Monday in a motion to dismiss the RNC's lawsuit. Google is ending a pilot program that let political emails bypass the Gmail spam filter, and it says it hasn't decided whether to convert the pilot into a more long-term option for political campaigns. Google pointed to the FEC decision in the statement it provided to Ars today.
