I guess we know the answer to the question for sure now, don't we.
It *was* Google from whence all that spam was emanating after all!

You'd think Google, of all outfits, would have figured out that
an account that sends a billion messages to any given newsgroup
is spamming that newsgroup. I guess they didn't care.

"I gue$$ they didn't care."

Capitalist cost cutting. There is no profit in providing a public
service as far as google is concerned. They did screw up. There were
many local governments using groups because it was convenient, private,
and useful information for insider trading was available for the taking.

google cut off their no$e to $pite their own face.

Trump should be announcing that Truth Social and Elon Musk have bought
Usenet from google any day now.

That would be funny as Hell if it ever happened. Feeds from Truth
Social and X, lots of new objective contributors.

It would be hard for Google to sell Usenet since they've never owned it.

That never stopped any of those folks. Or the people who have repeatedly
sold the Brooklyn Bridge. There's lots of money in the business of selling
stuff you don't own.
