Google has denied the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) recent allegations of the tech company’s partisan administration of its Gmail service in favor of Democratic emails over Republican content.
On Aug. 28, FTC Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson wrote a letter to Google CEO Sundar Pichai alleging that the tech giant was potentially violating an FTC rule when its Gmail service used a “partisan approach” while administering spam filters.
