Yes. Google has loosened their spam filters. I have noticed. My educated guess on why? Lawsuits from political parties, notification of class action litigation

  I think they have a target for "% of good emails filtered as spam" and their classifiers need to choose a lower recall operating point to hit that target, because the spam has gotten harder to detect.

    on this particular subject, on my personal account I receive very little real email any more, everybody switched to IMing. I wonder if that's taxing their system by not given gmail enough "good stuff" to chew on, to learn the difference? but that would mean they're personalizing it for me somehow which I doubt. maybe everybody's real personal email quotient has gone down. sort of interesting, the real competitive enemy of gmail was not icloud or outlook, it was iphone.
