  • Google Reportedly Receives Poll Panel Nod From FEC To Keep Politician Emails Out of Spam in the US

    San Francisco: Google has received a go-ahead from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) in the US to keep politician campaign emails from being marked as spam. Google will now allow candidates and political party committees to apply for its programme that would make their messages exempt from Gmail’s spam detection systems, reports The Verge. Google Outage: Google Search, YouTube, Google Maps & Other Services Were Down; All You Need To Know.

    “I have a hard time getting around the fact that this is a unique benefit offered to political committees, and only political committees,” FEC commissioner Ellen L. Weintraub sails quoted as saying in the report.

    Google had asked the FEC in June to allow a programme that could keep campaign emails from ending up in spam folders. First reported by Axios, Google’s pilot programme would be for “authorised candidate committees, political party committees and leadership political action committees registered with the FEC.”

    The programme was announced after Google came under heavy criticism that its algorithms unfairly target conservative content across its services and filters Republican fundraising and campaign emails to spam.

    “Our goal during this pilot program is to assess alternative ways of addressing concerns from bulk senders, while giving users clear controls over their inboxes to minimise unwanted email,” a Google spokesperson told The Verge. “We will continue to monitor feedback as the pilot rolls out to ensure it is meeting its goals,” said the company.

    Former US President Donald Trump’s campaigns were criticised for using spammy tactics in its fundraising emails.

    Kerala Assembly Election | Candidates have been beaten by WhatsApp in the poll

    Since the announcement of the assembly election, every time the mobile phone vibrates with a new message, there is this general ‘fear’ whether it is an invitation from another candidate to join another WhatsApp group.

States that it is impossible for media houses to follow all candidates in all constituencies and where WhatsApp works, disseminating information and even arranging special stories.

WhatsApp status is also used by our activists as an effective messaging tool as it helps them overcome the ban on politics among the many groups of people to which they are part. After all, choosing WhatsApp status is a personal matter and no one can stop it, ”he says.

  • COVID-19: Poll officials at risk of contracting DMK

    COVID-19: Poll officials at risk of contracting DMK

    The DMK told the Madras High Court on Monday that the Election Commission of India (ECI) is putting election officials and others at risk of contracting the virus by allowing COVID-19 patients to vote via postal ballot. It would be better if they do not come to the patient polling stations and do not vote.

    Senior advocate P.P., appearing before the First Division Bench of Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice Senthilkumar Ramamurthy. Wilson said that election officials, videographers, police officers and politicians have no clarity about who would come to the hospital and home quarantine and how they would do it. Withdraw postal ballot papers from those in quarantine. “Even in the Madras High Court, we are keeping every paper filed in this court on quarantine for 24 hours before touching them. But when it comes to the postal ballot, there is no clarity on who the patients will meet in quarantine and receive postal votes. It is better that the patients of COVID-19 do not come to the polling stations nor do they vote. ‘

    Arguments were made during the hearing of a case filed by the DMK challenging Section 60 (c) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, which gives the ECI the right to create and give a new class of voters, such as ‘absentee voters’. Voting option through postal ballot, physically handicapped, people suffering from COVID-19, etc., to those above 80 years of age.

    Mr. Wilson argued that enabling every voter to visit a polling station and make them feel free and independent for a few moments with electronic voting machines (EVMs) so that the voter could exercise his franchise without coercion. He said that such freedom could not be expected when voting through postal ballot due to the potential for influence from family and friends.

    He said that there was no logic behind the decisions taken by the ECI on categorizing absentee voters. Seeing the basis on which the voters above the age of 80 can be given the option of voting through postal ballot, the senior advocate asked: “It has made a similar option for people suffering from cancer, blood pressure Why did not you? And diabetes? ”

    Earlier, Senior Advocate representing ECI G. Rajagopal, and Additional Solicitor-General R. R. representing the Center. Sankaranarayanan said that the ECI was well within its powers to provide the option of voting through postal ballot to select voters. He also said that it was sufficient to take a decision after consulting the Center and there was no need to consult the State Governments.
