Article

  • FSF reports a Gmail account sending 10,000+ spam emails, can’t reach Google

  • Highlights Google’s structural indifference to abuse reports from non-paying users

Discussion

  • Commenters note Gmail/Outlook/Salesforce responsible for most spam bypassing blacklists
  • Suggestion: only mass spam reports trigger Google action, not individual complaints
  • Consensus: Google has zero incentive to fix unless it costs them money
