Gmail removes controversial feature that harmed Republicans in US

Google has removed a controversial feature from Gmail that was flagging Republican fundraising emails in US as "dangerous" and sending them directly to spam.

The move comes after complaints from the GOP consulting firm Targeted Victory, which had warned clients about the issue.

The firm found that emails with links to the GOP fundraising platform WinRed were being blocked and labeled with a red warning label saying they "seem dangerous."
