Starting on February 22, 2024, you can no longer use Google Groups (at
groups.google.com) to post content to Usenet groups, subscribe to Usenet
groups, or view new Usenet content. You can continue to view and search
for historical Usenet content posted before February 22, 2024 on Google
Groups.

In addition, Google’s Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) server and
associated peering will no longer be available, meaning Google will not
support serving new Usenet content or exchanging content with other NNTP
servers.

This change will not impact any non-Usenet content on Google Groups,
including all user and organization-created groups. Most of the current
Google Groups content is not Usenet content and will not be affected.

They appear to have pulled it forward a week to 15-Feb-2024.

I'm impressed there's still someone left at Google who knows what NNTP is.

In the meantime I invoked a global shitlist on anything coming out of
Google in LeafNode (Injection-Info: google*) which seems to have nuked
all the miscreant postings.

Once google groups shuts down for good, I'll remove this.
