I received mail from eures.europa.eu to Gmail for years before Google's new "be evil" act.

Ban Google in EU. Don't let citizens use enemy services in a cold war.

Ah yes, googles brilliant plan to destroy the EU by maliciously sending mail from europe.eu to the spam folder.

At the vert least a company this size investing this much money into all kinds of bullshit should be capable of knowing that emails from europa.eu are not spam.

If this is incompetence rather than bad intent, it's just another piece of solid evidence that Google has lost its way and now sucks more than it's competition. Not that anyone would be surprised to learn that.

How would they know that europe.eu is a legitimate government website? Anyone can register a .eu domain. If it ever expires, anyone can buy it. And even if they built a team that whitelists government websites, do you really want to have spam from them whitelisted? What if they get hacked, what if they use spam for military disinformation campaigns.

My point being: One email doesn't even tell you if their service sucks. Much less that Google is an enemy service and must be banned.

There are plenty of reasons to not use Google. There are even a bunch of reasons to ban Google. One false positive in their spam filter is not one of them.
