Google has denied the recent allegations of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) that the tech company’s administration of its Gmail service favors Democrats’ 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.
