Google is launching a new Gmail Verified Sender Program on September 8th, which will allow political campaigns in the US to bypass the platform's spam filter. To qualify, campaigns must use verified domains and maintain a spam complaint rate below 0.3%. This initiative aims to ensure users receive desired emails while maintaining inbox control, though it follows a history of disputes between Google and the Republican National Committee regarding alleged email censorship.
