共和黨促FTC調查Google電郵屏蔽保守派議題




共和黨國會委員會呼籲聯邦貿易委員會調查谷歌是否對保守派電郵進行審查

據Axios週三報道,美國眾議院和參議院的共和黨競選委員會聯合致函聯邦貿易委員會(FTC),要求展開對Alphabet旗下Google的調查。兩個委員會分別為全國共和黨國會委員會(National Republican Congressional Committee)和全國共和黨參議院委員會(National Republican Senate Committee),他們指控Google及其電郵服務Gmail可能在向保守派用戶發送電郵時存在壓制行為。

信中寫給FTC主席Andrew Ferguson,要求調查Google是否故意將共和黨發送給保守派訂閱者的電郵,從主要收件箱轉移到垃圾郵件夾,導致大量電郵未被查看。這一指控再次點燃了共和黨與美國科技巨頭之間的矛盾。長期以來,共和黨批評大型科技公司在言論審查方面存在偏袒自由派,打壓保守派觀點。

據Axios報道,共和黨方面指控,在2024年選舉周期內,只有約30%的共和黨電郵成功到達Gmail用戶的主要收件箱,其餘大多被歸入垃圾郵件夾,極可能未被用戶察覺。值得注意的是,2023年共和黨曾就Google涉嫌反保守派偏見提起訴訟,但被法院駁回。

此次共和黨委員會要求FTC將他們的投訴納入今年2月宣布的調查範圍,顯示雙方矛盾持續升溫。

評論與分析:科技巨頭與政治立場的角力正在升級

這起事件是美國政治與科技領域交織的又一例證。共和黨對Google的指控,不僅反映出他們對科技巨頭影響力的擔憂,更揭示了當前網絡言論監控與政治偏見的敏感話題。過去幾年,科技公司如何平衡言論自由與內容審核,一直是全球關注的焦點。

從技術層面來看,電郵系統的垃圾郵件過濾本屬正常運作,但若出現有意識的政治偏向,則會嚴重損害用戶信任和言論公平性。共和黨強調只有30%郵件直達收件箱,數據若屬實,說明Google的郵件過濾機制可能存在偏差或漏洞。

另一方面,法院在2023年駁回共和黨訴訟,顯示目前法律上對這類政治偏見指控的認定仍有難度。FTC此次是否介入調查,將成為關鍵,或將影響未來科技企業在政治中立性上的監管標準。

對香港及全球用戶而言,這起事件提醒我們,無論是社交媒體還是電郵服務,背後的算法和政策都可能影響資訊流通的公平性。監管機構如何平衡創新與監管,保護用戶權益與言論自由,將是未來科技發展不可忽視的挑戰。

總括而言,這不僅是美國國內政治與科技的對抗,更是全球數碼時代言論自由與監管博弈的縮影。我們應持續關注相關調查進展,並思考如何在科技高速發展下,建立更透明、公正的數碼環境。

Create a portrait of a man (from attached photo) made of tiny ceramic mosaic tiles. Man is dressed in black oversized shirt and cargo pants. The image should look like a wall mural in a graffiti alley. People walking by and looking at the portrait. Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a striking, high-resolution portrait of a young woman with long, flowing wavy brunette hair, seated gracefully on a simple black wooden chair in a dimly lit studio. She wears an oversized, off-white knitted sweater that drapes loosely over her frame, slipping off one shoulder to reveal smooth skin and add a subtle touch of sensuality. Her pose is elegant and contemplative: one arm rests gently on the chair’s backrest while her hand delicately supports her chin, and her gaze is directed thoughtfully toward the side, creating an intimate and introspective mood. The lighting is expertly crafted with a single soft, directional light source positioned to the side, casting gentle shadows that sculpt her form and highlight the texture of the knitwear and the natural contours of her legs and arms. This chiaroscuro effect enhances the depth and dimensionality of the image, emphasizing the softness of her skin and the intricate weave of the sweater. The background is a smooth, muted dark gray, providing a minimalist and distraction-free backdrop that contrasts beautifully with her light-colored apparel and warm skin tones. *** The composition is a full-body vertical frame that captures the model’s seated posture with perfect balance, positioning her slightly off-center to create visual interest and harmony. The overall color palette is subdued and warm, featuring neutral tones that evoke a sense of calm and understated elegance. The image is impeccably sharp, showcasing fine details such as the delicate waves of her hair, the subtle folds in the fabric, and the natural texture of her skin. The style is classic and timeless, blending modern minimalism with emotive portraiture to convey quiet strength, beauty, and introspection.

In a brightly lit indoor setting, likely a press conference room, two uniformed police officers flank a man in a plain brown t-shirt. The officers, wearing blue shirts with epaulets and badges, have a firm but neutral grip on the man's shoulders, directing him towards the cameras. The man [image uploaded] with short dark hair, is smiling subtly and maintaining eye contact with the lens.

Stretching across the foreground is a white-draped table, upon which a diverse collection of women's underwear is meticulously displayed. There are dozens of pairs in various colors, patterns, and styles, including solid hues of red, blue, pink, and black, as well as leopard print and other designs. Several microphones with news station logos are placed among the undergarments, pointing towards the man and officers.

Behind the table, a throng of journalists and photographers are actively documenting the event. Many are holding professional video cameras with large lenses and attached lights, while others are using DSLR cameras with flash attachments, and some are capturing footage with their smartphones. The room is illuminated by rectangular fluorescent light panels on the ceiling, casting an even glow. The overall atmosphere suggests a formal public presentation, possibly a police press briefing or an arrest announcement.
