It has. It's mostly flooded with sex and (illegal) drug ads.
That will diminish in 6 days.
Why? They already stopped all posting of new messages through GG. All
that's going to happen on 2024-02-22 is that they're going to stop
displaying any new messages, regardless of where they are posted. If you
use GG, all new posts will stop completely, regardless of sender or
newsgroup. If you don't use GG, if your newsserver has good filtering,
you won't see those messages, and if your newsserver has poor filteing,
you should continue seeing those messages.
They stopped new posts from some, but not all, groups.
They have promised to depeer themselves completely on the 22nd.
Which means all the spam will move to those servers that handle binaries
- simply because those admins either don't care, or won't notice because
then increase in bandwidth is basically zero for them.
Well the good news is no more Google Groups spam!
