Those spams should be NoCeM'ed, and google groups should accept trusted NoCeM announces. But I doubt google ever cared about Usenet at all.

- capableweb 5y ago> But I doubt google ever cared about Usenet at all Doubt? This is without doubt: For-profit companies cares about generating profits. If they own something that doesn't generate profits, the only reason they even own it is because they haven't figured out how to close it down yet, or how to earn profits on it, or they think it leads to profits in other areas. Of course they don't care about making information more widely available for free, they care about making money. Hardly surprising that they prefer to spend the least amount of time on moderating, closing the entire group is way simpler and cost-effective (according to them, apparently).
