GOP Cries Censorship over Spam Filters That Work

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-07 04:32:01

The chairman of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) last week sent a letter to Google’s CEO demanding to know why Gmail was blocking messages from Republican senders while allegedly failing to block similar missives supporting Democrats. The letter followed media reports accusing Gmail of disproportionately flagging messages from the GOP fundraising platform WinRed and sending them to the spam folder. But according to experts who track daily spam volumes worldwide, WinRed’s messages are getting b

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-10-11 09:00:00

The jump to the Nvidia RTX 50-series GPUs and the avalanche of tariff woes make our gaming gadgets more costly for only marginal performance gains. Out of this murk of price gouging is Maingear, a company best known for making custom gaming desktops. Its new “Super 16″ 16-inch gaming laptop, announced at the same time as IFA 2025, does more than most companies to set itself apart, but it’s the starting price for its specs that makes it more enticing than competing notebooks.

The Tiny Caribbean Island Investors Are Chasing for Their AI Plans

The beaches of this British overseas territory are usually its biggest draw. Tourists flock here for soft sand, turquoise seas, and the sense of seclusion found on an island with just 16,000 residents. But in the age of artificial intelligence, Anguilla’s most valuable asset may be two letters that make up its internet domain: .ai.

Google says Gmail security is “strong and effective” as it denies major breach

The sky is falling, and Gmail has supposedly been hacked to bits by malicious parties unknown. Or has it? Reports circulated last week claiming that Gmail was the subject of a major data breach, citing a series of warnings Google has distributed and increasing reports of phishing attacks. The hysteria was short-lived, though. In a brief post on its official blog, Google says that Gmail's security is "strong and effective," and reports to the contrary are mistaken.
