The humorous part is that they actually think "label" is in any way a
reasonable word to use. Quite easy to comply with, I promise not to
apply any labels! I'll just 5xx it...

I want to be sure that everyone here is aware of a piece of pending
legislation in the U.S. that is in committee in both the House and the
Senate right now. It's called the Political BIAS Emails Act of 2022
(BIAS is short for “Bias In Algorithm Sorting”), and it requires that,
and I quote:
“It shall be unlawful for an operator of an email service to use a
filtering algorithm to apply a label to an email sent to an email
account from a political campaign unless the owner or user of the
account took action to apply such a label.”
It is getting relatively very little press, and of course the chances
of it passing are greater if nobody knows to oppose it.
We've written an article about it, which includes what to do, whom to
contact and how, etc., and which includes all relevant links, here:

Feel free to share - in fact please do, if this thing passes it's the
camel's nose under the tent.
