Election spending concerns rise in Nigeria as Google updates Gmail political filters
In Nigeria, officials at the Central Bank are expressing concern regarding the upcoming 2027 election cycle. Governor Olayemi Cardoso and Deputy Governor Muhammad Abdullahi have warned that increased fiscal releases and election-related spending could trigger demand-side inflation and undermine recent efforts to control headline inflation.
Separately, Google is launching the Gmail Verified Sender Program on September 8. Designed for political committees in the United States, the program allows verified senders to bypass traditional spam filters to deliver messages directly to users' inboxes. To participate, politicians must adhere to mass email guidelines, follow anti-abuse policies, and include unsubscribe options for CAN-SPAM compliance.
