Judge tears apart Republican lawsuit alleging bias in Gmail spam filter

A federal judge yesterday granted Google's motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the Republican National Committee (RNC), which claims that Google intentionally used Gmail's spam filter to suppress Republicans' fundraising emails. An order dismissing the lawsuit was issued yesterday by US District Judge Daniel Calabretta.
The RNC is seeking "recovery for donations it allegedly lost as a result of its emails not being delivered to its supporters' inboxes," Calabretta noted. But Google correctly argued that the lawsuit claims are barred by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, the judge wrote. The RNC lawsuit was filed in October 2022 in US District Court for the Eastern District of California.
"While it is a close case, the Court concludes that... the RNC has not sufficiently pled that Google acted in bad faith in filtering the RNC's messages into Gmail users' spam folders, and that doing so was protected by Section 230. On the merits, the Court concludes that each of the RNC's claims fail as a matter of law for the reasons described below," he wrote.

Gmail will lock important settings behind a pop-up 2FA challenge

Today Gmail only asks for your user credentials during the initial login, and that login session can last for weeks at a time. That's not as secure as it could be, so soon Gmail will start posting two-factor authentication (2FA) challenges if you try to access any "sensitive" settings , even when you're already logged in.
The newly protected settings are for filters, account forwarding, and IMAP. Soon, poking around in any of these options will boot you into a "Verify it's you" 2FA prompt, and you'll have to pass the challenge on your phone (these settings are only available on the web). If this 2FA challenge is failed or is not answered, you'll get a bright red "Critical security alert" pop-up alerting you to the attempt on all your trusted devices.
This security pop-up is all about trying to stop attackers that have compromised your account. If someone steals your laptop, or a malicious remote desktop app turns on, and you're already logged in to Gmail, the pop-up should at least keep the attacker away from the worst settings. Filters are a security risk since a lot of other sites notify you of purchases and sensitive changes to your account with an email, and a common first step in an attack is to hide these emails with a filter. Forwarding and IMAP both duplicate your incoming emails to other places and could allow people to quietly spy on you or steal credentials.

The best Mac client for Gmail users is now a 1.0 release with nifty new features

When I searched for the best Mac email clients for Gmail/Google Apps users in September, I was surprised to find that there was an app built specifically for this purpose. You didn't need to customize it, change its settings, or bolt on a bunch of extensions to make it work and feel right; Mimestream was both deeply hooked into Gmail and very much a Mac app.
Mimestream spent more than three years in a free beta period, releasing more than 220 updates for 167,000 users and adding more than 100 features. Now that a 1.0 release is out—and the company has grown from a solo developer to a five-person team—there's a price for the product .
Mimestream is $30 per year if you buy during this launch period, then $50 per year after that (if you were a beta user, check your inbox for a bigger discount code). There's still a 14-day, no-credit-card-required trial period. Individual users can install it on up to five devices, and there's Family Sharing across iCloud accounts.
