They don't care.

This is purely a "punish big tech for us not following rules" bill.

But the only way you can get gmail to "use a filtering algorithm to apply a
label" would be for yourself to "take action to apply such a label" by
creating a filter yourself... Gmail doesn't apply labels to spam, it places
the spam in your spam folder.

We commonly call it "spam folder", but in terms used by Gmail, "Spam" is a "label", not a "folder". There are no "folders" in Gmail web interface. What
we'd call "folders" is called "labels" by Gmail.

And is expressed in IMAP as both a folder of messages and as the $Junk keyword applied to those messages.

The people who wrote that bill don't understand any technical details about email and clearly didn't believe that they needed to.
