"In line with the Commission’s recent precedent, because Google credibly asserts that its spam filter is applied on a politically neutral basis and for a commercial purpose, the Commission finds no reason to believe that Google, LLC, made, and Biden for President and Keana Spencer in her official capacity as treasurer knowingly accepted, prohibited in-kind corporate contributions in violation of [U.S. code]," the bipartisan FEC panel ruled.
The FEC panel stressed that "the available information indicates that Google’s spam filter is in place for commercial, rather than electoral, purposes."
